 Just the News:

11 states urge Supreme Court to overrule Colorado in Trump ballot case

If the U.S. Supreme Court upholds the state ruling, no votes for Trump would be counted, according to the Colorado Secretary of State.

The Colorado court used the alleged insurrection as its excuse.  I think those allegations are not valid.  It was a demonstration by people who challenged the results of the 2020 election and not an insurrection.  Even Joe Biden says that you need F-16s if you are going to try to overthrow the government.

I think what is happening is that Democrats do not think Biden can beat Trump in a fair election so they are trying to criminalize him and use various excuses to keep him off ballots.

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
