Colorados Högsta Domstol har visat vägen och California blir nästa delstat att sätta stopp för Trump. Det bådar gott för USAs (och världens) framtid. Individer som Trump hör inte hemma i politiken ens på kommunalnivå.
Fler än 20 av USAs delstater arbetar med att ta fram liknande domar i sina domstolar eftersom det nu får ses som styrkt att Trump bröt mot lagen i 3:e sektionen 14:e tillägget i konstitutionen.
Trump plockas inte bort i Kalifornien tills vidare, Secretary of State Shirley Weber vill följa lagen.
Citat:
California Secretary of State Shirley Weber is resisting pressure from within the Democratic Party to remove Donald Trump from the March statewide primary ballot due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol — arguing that, unlike the former Republican president, she feels obligated to follow the law.

Weber was put in the hot seat after Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis sent her a letter Dec. 20 imploring her, the state elections chief, to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.”
Demokraten Kounalakis som tryckt på för att utesluta Trump, har sannolikt agerat för att locka röster till guvernörsvalet där hon ställer upp mot Newsom.
Gavin Newsom å sin sida, kritiserar de som via odemokratiska metoder söker utesluta Trump från valet.
Citat:
In a rare rebuke of the lieutenant governor, Newsom criticized the assertion that Trump should be removed from the ballot.
“There is no doubt that Donald Trump is a threat to our liberties and even to our democracy, but in California, we defeat candidates we don’t like at the polls,” Newsom said last week. “Everything else is a political distraction.”

Kounalakis is running to succeed Newsom in California’s 2026 gubernatorial election, and her letter to Weber was largely seen as a way to score political points among Democratic voters.
