Colorado GOP plans rousing response to weaponized state Supreme Court

It is a weaponized, Democrat-run state Supreme Court in Colorado that has banned President Donald Trump from the Republican primary heading into the 2024 presidential election.
But what if that ban applies to a primary that doesn't exist?
A report from the Independent Sentinel notes the GOP responded right away when four Democrat-appointed judges on the state Supreme Court issued that ruling regarding Trump's candidacy.
They decided he was guilty of being an "insurrectionist" for the Jan. 6, 2021, events at the Capitol, even though the experts point out the events were a riot, but not an insurrection.
Further, the justices, Richard L. Gabriel, Melissa Hart, Monica Marquez and William W. Hood, decided Trump was guilty without having evidence of insurrection, without any conviction for insurrection, without even any charges for insurrection.
The new report said, "The Colorado GOP won’t tolerate Donald Trump being taken off the ballot by the Democrat Supreme Court. What the Supreme Court does doesn’t matter. The GOP has decided to withdraw and move to a caucus system if this is allowed to stand."
The report accused Democrats of using "lawfare" against Trump because they are "very desperate."

The report also cited Vivek Ramaswamy for "doing the right thing."
I pledge to withdraw from the Colorado GOP primary ballot until Trump is also allowed to be on the ballot, and I demand that Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley do the same immediately - or else they are tacitly endorsing this illegal maneuver which will have disastrous… pic.twitter.com/qbpNf9L3ln

You won't have to because we will withdraw from the Primary as a Party and convert to a pure caucus system if this is allowed to stand.

“Democracy” now means the right of the people to vote for candidates approved by liberal judges.

The four judges, without any charges of insurrection against Trump, decided those Jan. 6 events were an insurrection and Trump was guilty.
The case was before the court in a case brought by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics on behalf of voters.
"In the career-defining decision, the justices claimed that they did 'not reach these conclusions lightly' and said they were 'mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions' before them," the report explained.
Trump accused the four Democrats of election interference and legal expert Jonathan Turley accused the four of "throwing matches" at a country that already is "a powder keg."
Trump, of course, is far and away the leading Republican candidate for the office, and has consistently shown in polling that he likely would defeat Biden.
The Colorado judiciary also has unleashed some stunningly incorrect decisions in recent years, including one involving the state's unconstitutional attacks on baker Jack Phillips, who refused to violate his Christian faith in order to promote LGBT lifestyles. The U.S. Supreme Court actually scolded the state for its "hostility" to Christianity.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as "infanticide." They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a "gender transition" that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America's economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as "violent extremists," "domestic terrorists," "white supremacists" and "insurrectionists." Indeed, they're currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden's chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes "politics" in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, "CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world's freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction."
