In fact, the opinion by Colorado District Judge Sarah B. Wallace is a giant step toward disqualifying Trump from the ballot on constitutional grounds.

    It’s patently absurd to think that the drafters of this clause intended for it not to apply to President or Vice President – because they explicitly state that someone who engaged in insurrection cannot be a member of the Electoral College. So … it’s not okay to play a teeny tiny role in selecting POTUS or VPOTUS, but let’s make sure that it is okay to actually be POTUS or VPOTUS?

    There is absolutely no way that that is the case. It’s irrational and ludicrous.
