Anderson v. Griswold, ruling that Trump is ineligible to appear on Colorado’s Republican primary ballot, is about 200 pages. I’m attaching it here, with my annotations, to help folks through the material. I’ve highlighted different sections in different colors and underlined or otherwise indicated particularly important passages. All the opinions are clear and important to read for yourself, whether or not you are a lawyer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13peW_zaZVZOcbL_mlhdEagIdEUS-Dxck/view?usp=drivesdk #LawFedi #Jan6 #2024 #PresidentialElection

ANY state or local official can REJECT Trump as constitutionally disqualified from office, under the 14th Amendment.

It does not require Congress.

It does not require a lawsuit.

Trump has ALREADY been disqualified. Automatically.

Colorado just recognized the obvious.

Soon, SCOTUS is going to decide:

1) Whether Trump is disqualified from office for leading an insurrection

2) Whether Trump is immune from being prosecuted for leading that same insurrection

Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from BOTH cases. He won't. But he should.

@smeg @TonyStark what if I told you that zionism is merely the right of Jews to self-determine in parts of their ancestral lands, and that the majority of Jews are opposed to the West Bank settlements?

The reason why our hackles are raised by this is that people frequently mistake criticism of Israeli policy in the West Bank and Gaza for anti-zionism. It's not - anti-zionism calls for the abolishment of the entire state of Israel, with no regard for where the millions of Jews living there would go.

Ranked Choice Voting is our quickest, most accessible path towards ending the two-party monopoly that our Electoral College has created and it will increase voter turnout because more Americans will feel their votes can matter more. Voter apathy is what has allowed the far-right to accrue so much power.

In Alaska’s new election system, it “gave citizens greater choice and elevated the most broadly appealing candidates, in turn improving representation.”

@TonyStark

"It’s on those people to do better."
You are absolutely correct.

The backlash you have endured shows people are allowing their emotions to prevail over any critical thinking, unfortunately.

I am so sorry people have not learned there is a immense difference between the Netanyahu Government and the Israeli people.

And there is NO EXCUSE for blaming Jewish people here for the ACTIONS of a GOVERNMENT in ANOTHER COUNTRY!!
(Capitals for readers-not yelling at you Tony)

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

ICYMI, 3 #Florida teachers are suing the state over law restricting use of #pronouns. https://news.wfsu.org/state-news/2023-12-14/three-teachers-are-challenging-floridas-personal-pronoun-law

"We've always done it that way"

Is not an acceptable answer or justification.

So in Texas, you can now be arrested (along with your doctors) if you have a miscarriage and you can be arrested on site for "suspicion" of being "illegal" (meaning if you have brown skin).

A large amount of accounts on this platform seem to be too consumed with yelling at American Jews to even care about what’s going on here.

Given the alternative is authoritarian fascism… yes.

I’m all for putting pressure on candidates and trying to get better candidates, but it’s unlikely anyone on our side other than Bidenis going to win the next general election. Yes, we’re being held hostage, but not by the Dems.
