President Trump Expected To Appeal 2024 Ballot Challenges
The far Left’s 14th Amendment “disqualification” lawsuit led to the Colorado Supreme Court banning President Donald Trump from the ballot – now Trump is expected to appeal. There’s no reason to think his legal team won’t file the appeal.
Keep in mind that President Trump’s appeal is separate from the ACLJ’s legal efforts to ensure you are not denied the right to vote for the candidate of your choice. We are representing the Colorado GOP in our appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Left’s blatant election interference.
The next 10 days are critical in our fight to preserve election integrity. We can’t allow Deep State bureaucrats (like the unelected Secretary of State in Maine) to interfere in our elections. We are actively working around the clock to defend your constitutional right to vote for the candidate of your choice.
Also, Special Counsel Jack Smith has outrageously argued in a new brief that President Trump’s immunity arguments could enable a President to commit murder or sell nuclear secrets:
In his filing, the special counsel’s office stated that it would be dangerous to give a president that kind of broad immunity.
“The implications of the defendant’s broad immunity theory are sobering. . . .
“That approach would grant immunity from criminal prosecution to a President who accepts a bribe in exchange for directing a lucrative government contract to the payer; a President who instructs the FBI Director to plant incriminating evidence on a political enemy; a President who orders the National Guard to murder his most prominent critics; or a President who sells nuclear secrets to a foreign adversary, because in each of these scenarios, the President could assert that he was simply executing the laws; or communicating with the Department of Justice; or discharging his powers as Commander-in-Chief; or engaging in foreign diplomacy.”
Smith’s hyperbolic comments are completely absurd. You always hear about the need for healing in the country. Does this kind of rhetoric about a former President foster unity and healing? The Special Counsel’s attempts to skip the court of appeals and expedite the case before Super Tuesday or put a gag order on President Trump also don’t help calm things down.
What would calm the country down is allowing the American people to vote for the frontrunner of a political party. Even President Obama’s former advisor David Axelrod said removing President Trump from the ballot would “rip the country apart . . . because tens of millions of people want to vote for him.”
I don’t agree with Axelrod often, but he’s exactly right. Let the American people decide who the President will be. Otherwise, the divide in the country will only get worse.
Finally, I want to highlight the border crisis. A staggering 302,000 migrant encounters occurred at the southern border last month. ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell reacted to this report:
The Biden team is absolutely allowing this to happen. They just had a meeting in Mexico City. The Secretary of State did, and basically, it was a failed diplomatic meeting. Mexico is not going to help anymore. The Biden team doesn’t have any leverage to push on Mexico. . . . We’ve got the media ignoring the issue, largely not pushing back on the growing number every single month. . . . So they know within the Biden Administration that they can get away with this – that they can ignore the border.
The southern border is a matter of national security. We must secure our border and protect our citizens. When will the Biden Administration wake up?
I’d be remiss if I didn’t take the time to express a sincere thank you to all our donors for their generosity in 2023. We also exceeded last year’s goal of reaching 18,500 ACLJ Champions (monthly donors), which will help us set our budget for 2024. Thank you so much for continuing to support the ACLJ.
