Trump, not Colorado, has put the Supreme Court in an impossible position

The Supreme Court will rule on the decisions by Colorado and other states on Trump’s eligibility to be on the 2024 ballot. Colorado said he was ineligible because of the 14th amendment and his role in the insurrection.

I am not discussing the merits of the case.

Some people are mad at Colorado because whatever the court decides will cause a lot of anger on the losing side. I don’t think worrying about possible violence by the Trump cult should influence the decision. The decision will be seen as political especially if the Trump-appointed judges rule in favor of him. As far as I’m concerned, the court destroyed their credibility with the Bush vs, Gore decision in 2000. Whatever happens will increase distrust in and acceptance of the 2024 election results.

The anger should be directed at Trump, not Colorado, If Trump hadn’t incited an insurrection, we wouldn’t be at this point.
