Rocky Mountain High!

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high . . . 

I've seen it raining karma in the sky.

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that, because Trump instigated the insurrection against the certification of the 2020 presidential election in Congress, he cannot appear on the ballot for President in the primary election in the Centennial State in 2024.  Because Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution says so:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." 
The Republicans are short by about seventy votes in the House and there's no way in hell that they can get 67 votes in the Senate.
Oh yeah, the U.S. Supreme Court has to weigh in and will get the final say.  Well, all originalists on the highest court in the land . . . if you believe that original intent of the framers rules the day, you have to rule against Trump!
And have a good time doing it. 😂
