YoBuckStopsHereTrump ‘engaged in an insurrection,’ judge says, but should remain on Colorado ballot | CNN Politics
RottcoddI hate to say this, but the judge is right and pretty much everyone on this thread is wrong.
What she’s saying is that she believes that he engaged in insurrection, but that her belief is not sufficient to keep him off the ballot. And she’s right.
It’s going to have to be an established fact that he engaged in insurrection, and in a court setting, that means that he’s going to have to be convicted.
Not just charged, and not just pretty obviously guilty - convicted.
Like it or not, just like anyone else, as far as a court is concerned, he’s innocent until proven guilty.
…and there’s the nuance I was looking for.
Good on ya.
RanvierNo, the actual ruling wasn’t nuanced at all. This commenter made up a different argument for the judge, not one she actually used. It’s much dumber. Read the article.
