Trump ‘engaged in an insurrection,’ judge says, but should remain on Colorado ballot | CNN Politics - Lemmy.World

I 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.

Are you fucking high, or simply didn’t read the actual text in the slightest?

I did read the text, and at the time I posted that response, it included an entire section in which the judge said that it had to be a certain fact that he engaged in insurrection and it was not yet an established fact and not within her authority to establish it as a fact - that that was up to the appropriate courts to decode.

And all of that has apparently since been removed from the article.

Which is… odd, to say the least.
