Four non-elected, Democrat-appointed justices recently voted to bar former President Donald Trump from appearing on Colorado’s 2024 ballot. According to Robert Schmad at Western Journal, Colorado Supreme Court Justices Melissa, Monica Marquez, William Hood, and Richard Gabriel determined on Tuesday that Trump was part of the “insurrection” that took place on January 6, 2021. They, therefore, determined that Trump was disqualified from appearing on the Colorado ballot under the Fourteenth Amendment.
All
four justices are Democrats that support Democrat interests. According to
Federal Election Commission records, Hart donated more than any of her
colleagues by donating nearly $20,000 to various Democrat running in federal
elections since 2008. She also donated thousands more dollars to state-level
Democrats, according to Colorado secretary of state records.
Hood
also donated to Democratic candidates and groups in the amount of more than
$5,000, according to Ballotpedia. In addition, he “hosted a campaign event for
former Democratic Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter.”
“Marquez
gave $115 to Obama, and Gabriel gave $600 to assorted Democrats running for federal
office, according to FEC records.”
Democrats
appoint the remaining three justices on the Colorado Supreme Court, but they
voted against removing Trump from the ballot. In addition, none of them donated
to Democrat causes.
“All
seven justices draw six-figure salaries for their work on the Colorado Supreme
Court, according to state records.” Yet, the educational process of the seven
judges is interesting. Three of the justices voting to remove Trump from the
Colorado ballot -- Marquez, Hart, and Gabriel –attended Ivy League Law Schools.
Hood, the fourth justice voting to remove Trump from the ballot, did not attend
an Ivy League law school.
All
three justices who voted against removing Trump from Colorado’s ballot
graduated from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
