CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 22, 2023
IN COMMENTING ON THE COLORADO SUPREME COURT’S 4-3 RULING TO DISQUALIFY FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM THAT STATE’S PRIMARY BALLOT BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6, THE WALL STREET JOIURNAL HAS IT RIGHT: “THE DECISION…IS AN UGLY TURN THAT AUGURS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR AMERICAN LAW AND DEMOCRACY. EVEN IF THE U.S. SUPREME COURT OVERTURNS THE RULING, AS IT PROBABLY WILL, THE COLORADO DECISION WILL CONFIRM FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS THAT MR. TRUMP’S OPPONENTS WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO DENY THEM THEIR DEMOCRATIC CHOICE.”
THIS FROM A NEWSPAPER THAT IS NOT A FAN OF TRUMP’S RE-ELECTION. ALL OF TRUMP’S GOP OPPONENTS HAVE DENOUNCED THE DECISION AS HAVE MANY DEMOCRATS.
ONE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE FOR ANOTHER TRUMP TERM TO SEE THE DANGER IN THIS. TRUMP HAS NOT YET HAD DUE PROCESS. HE HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF NOTHING BY A JURY OF HIS PEERS. HE HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO CONFRONT HIS ACCUSERS. THE SUPREME COURT HAS YET TO RULE ON WHETHER TRUMP ENJOYED PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY WHILE PRESIDENT AND SO CAN’T BE PROSECUTED FOR WHAT HE SAID ON JANUARY 6.
WE ARE NOT CHINA OR RUSSIA.
THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD ACT QUICKLY AND DECISIVLEY AND PREFERABLY 9-0. I’M CAL THOMAS.
