Conservative Attorney Calls Colorado’s Disqualification of Trump ‘Flimsy, Partisan Legal Theory’

From NTD News: Conservative attorney and political analyst Gayle Trotter celebrated the Supreme Court reversal of Colorado’s attempt to disqualify former President Donald Trump from its ballot.

“Anyone who cares about democracy should be grateful for today’s unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court. As I predicted, SCOTUS has reversed the absurdly partisan decision of the Colorado Supreme Court,” she said.

Ms. Trotter added that none of the three liberal justices on the high court agreed with Colorado’s position either, leading to a 9–0 ruling in favor of President Trump.

Further, she admonished the few conservatives who supported the efforts to disqualify President Trump from state ballots.

“Finally, it’s worth reflecting on the shameful conduct of a handful of so-called conservatives who argued in favor of a flimsy, partisan legal theory that the United States Supreme Court has definitively rejected by a 9-0 vote.

“No one can rightly claim to be a conservative if they accepted—or, worse still, espoused—such an obviously wrong legal theory. That handful of so-called conservatives has officially disgraced themselves. Today’s result shows how these [people] are not who they claim to be,” Ms. Trotter added.
