The Dems desperate attempt to thwart Democracy when it comes to Trump

 Red State:

The shocking decision by the Colorado Supreme Court Tuesday that aims to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot for the GOP presidential primary in the state sent shockwaves across the world as angry critics continue to slam the opinion and argue that real democracies don’t work this way.

RedState’s Sister Toldjah brought you reactions earlier from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former New York congressman Lee Zeldin, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and more:

Meanwhile, entrepreneur and presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy challenged his GOP rivals to effectively boycott the Colorado primary if the decision stands:

Even former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, also a presidential candidate and no fan of Donald Trump, slammed the opinion:

Now RFK Jr. weighed in Tuesday evening, pointing out that we call countries that play these kinds of political games undemocratic....

Speaking of foreign countries, El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele ripped us over our hypocrisy, posting to X, "The United States has lost its ability to lecture any other country about “democracy.”

The president of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, wrote a long post pointing out that we've stooped to the level of countries we used to excoriate; here's his conclusion:

The Democratic court majority, based solely on its partisan hatred of Trump, ruled to deprive countless Colorado voters who support Trump of the right to vote for the candidate of their choice for president. What an outrage!  

What has happened in Colorado would not be out of place in Russia, Iran, China or Venezuela: a summary kangaroo court proceeding to lawlessly bar a disfavored political opponent from office.  The US Supreme Court can't act soon enough to tamp down this act of judicial sedition. 

... 

The opinion does seem consistent with what Democrats have tried to do when it comes to Trump.  They have been desperately trying to criminalize him rather than have a straight-up election decision by the voters.  Hopefully, the Supreme Court will overturn this travesty by the Colorado court.
