Scalise and Cruz File Amicus Brief Supporting President Trump's Colorado Ballot Disqualification Appeal

Date: Jan. 18, 2024
Location: Washington

"President Biden has based his reelection effort on the notion that he is safeguarding democracy, but he and his radical allies are attempting to undermine the central component of the democratic process -- the people's power to choose their leaders through elections. Not only does the Colorado Supreme Court have no authority to remove President Trump from the ballot in the 2024 presidential election, but the broad and ill-defined justifications they use can easily be abused in the future to block political opponents from assuming office. By taking away people's choice, the Colorado Supreme Court is setting a dangerous precedent and subverting the will of the American people. I'm proud to lead this amicus effort with Senator Cruz to stand up for American voters and our Constitution, and I urge the Supreme Court to thoughtfully consider our arguments and reverse this disastrous decision"
