    For what it’s worth, the CO SC had a panel thst just ordered him removed from the ballot because he engaged in insurrection and is ineligible under the 14th.

    There was an appeal and it got worse. So there’s that.

      No … the full Colorado State Supreme Court made that ruling. 4 in the majority, 3 dissent. Next stop: SCOTUS

      The Federal DC Circuit Court of Appeals - first your case goes to a three judge panel. That’s who’s going to hear oral argument the morning of Jan 9, 2024. If you don’t like how that went, then you appeal and it goes before the full court, en banc. Now your next appeal goes to SCOTUS.

      Maybe I’m being pedantic.

      Anyway - the kind of appeal I was talking about was one where the verdict was guilty, and the punishment was “just a fine.” The one you’re referring to - that’s not over, there are no consequences for that. That issue is never going to stop anywhere before a SCOTUS ruling.

        A panel of seven is still a panel of seven. Yes it’s the full court.

        I was simply adding context that it was in fact appealed and decreed an insurrection (and all that.)

        Though I suspect; the question isn’t going to go before the Scotus. It’s largely irrelevant in a primary, and it’s going to be difficult to justify moving that quickly anyway. (Ballot names have to be certified by the SoS by Jan 5th.)
