The legal chaos unleashed by Colorado Supreme Court

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

35% : The question of whether what happened on Jan. 6 was an "insurrection" that Trump "engaged" in is not a fact stipulated by both sides.
29% : In a recent post defending the power of any secretary of state to kick anyone they don't like off a ballot for federal office by declaring them an insurrectionist, Somin claims I said that Colorado courts had no jurisdiction to hear a lawsuit trying to kick Trump off the ballot.
25% : But what Somin conveniently ignores is that the only non-Confederate before Trump who was ever removed from a presidential ballot pursuant to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment had previously been convicted under the Espionage Act.
22% : Since Somin wrote his latest defense of the Colorado Supreme Court, Maine's secretary of state has also unilaterally decided to kick Trump off the ballot.
