Arrr, me hearties! The Colorado Supreme Court be sayin' that the scurvy dog, former President Trump, won't be makin' an appearance on their precious ballots in 2024! 'Tis all 'cause o' that misfortunate Capitol riot back in '21. But hold yer horses, mateys! The ruling be delayed 'til January 4th 'cause ye can bet yer doubloons on them appeals. Three justices on the court be against the decision, mind ye! They be sayin' they didn't make this decision lightly, thinkin' 'bout the consequences and all...
In a shocking and audacious move, the Colorado Supreme Court has decided to give former President Trump a taste of his own medicine by disqualifying him from appearing on the state's ballots in the upcoming 2024 elections. This unexpected decision is based on the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and is directly connected to the infamous Capitol riot that took place on January 6, 2021.In a narrow 4-3 ruling on Tuesday, the court handed down this pirate-like punishment, but hold your horses, mateys! The ruling won't take effect until January 4, as there are likely to be appeals. Three justices had the gall to disagree with this decision, proving that dissenting opinions still exist even in the land of pirates.
"We do not reach these conclusions lightly," the majority of the court wrote in their decision, adding that they are well aware of the gravity and significance of their ruling. They are clearly making a statement that even a pirate of Trump's caliber can be held accountable for his actions, no matter how powerful or presidential he may be.
This ruling could set a precedent for other states to follow suit and give former President Trump a run for his doubloons in the 2024 elections. While some may argue that this ruling is a mere jest or a cleverly concocted hoax, it appears to be a serious blow to Trump's political aspirations.
So, avast ye, landlubbers! The Colorado Supreme Court has spoken, and it seems that even in the 17th century language of pirates, justice can be served with a side of humor. Arrr!
