The former American president donald trump attacked this Wednesday against the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court to expel him from the Republican primaries in that state for his role in the assault on the Capitol from January 6, 2021.
“A sad day in America”, the former president (2017-2021) wrote on his social network Truth, in response to the ruling issued on Tuesday by the highest court in Colorado, which has no precedent in the United States.
“What a shame for our country!” Trump added in another publication on the social network, where he also suggested that the United States is becoming a “Banana Rebublic” and that the decision represents another example of “electoral interference”, as he has already stated before after judicial decisions against him.
In another publication he asserted that the president “Joe Biden should drop all of these false political accusations against me, both criminal and civil. Every case I fight is the work of the DOJ and the White House. “Such a thing has never happened in our country before.”
There is no indication that the Department of Justice (DOJ) or the White House had anything to do with the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court, whose justices appealed to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits people who have participated in an insurrection from occupying a popularly elected position.
Based on that amendment approved in 1868, the Colorado Supreme Court ordered the state secretary to exclude the name of the former president from the voting list in the Republican Party primary process in that state.
According to Trump campaign spokespersons, the former president plans to take the matter to the US Supreme Court, which will have the final say.
On his social network, Trump published an excerpt from the interview that law professor Jonathan Turley, from George Washington University, gave to the conservative Fox network, once the ruling was made public.
“This country is a tinderbox and this court is simply throwing matches at it”warned the academic, who was against the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court, which is made up entirely of judges nominated by Democratic Party governors.
Colorado will hold its presidential primaries on March 5, known as Super Tuesday, a key date on which 16 states will vote and which may define the race.
The Republican primaries begin next January 15 with the Iowa caucuses, and Trump is the favorite according to all polls to once again face the now president, Democrat Joe Biden, in the November 2024 elections for the White House.
