DENVER (AP) — The campaign to use the U.S. Constitution’s “insurrection” clause to bar former President Donald Trump from running for the White House again enters a new phase this week as hearings begin in two states on lawsuits that might end up reaching the U.S. Supreme Court.

A weeklong hearing on one lawsuit to bar Trump from the ballot in Colorado begins Monday, while on Thursday oral arguments are scheduled before the Minnesota Supreme Court on an effort to kick the Republican former president off the ballot in that state.

I understand the frustration in watching him waltz around unfazed after what he did, but we've never had to apply this law before. We need to get this right the first time. We can't afford to fuck up applying this law, and not fucking it up takes time.

Because the worst things he did he isn’t even being charged for. Ignoring Covid, supporting the Zionists and murdering Iranians
