The left’s unhinged lawfare campaign against Donald Trump is falling apart.

The extreme measures being taken to stop Trump reflect desperation, not strength. And it appears increasingly likely they will end with Trump returning to power.

Consider the audacious decision of the Colorado Supreme Court to kick Trump off the ballot.

Three of the court’s Democrat-appointed judges defended Trump against this incredible overreach: “I have been involved in the justice system for thirty-three years now,” Justice Carlos Samour said, “and what took place here doesn’t resemble anything I’ve seen in a courtroom.”

Even the Confederates received a general amnesty after the Civil War. But for the left, Trump’s iniquity is so great and so blindingly obvious that he must be sanctioned without due process.

Trump has not been convicted of “insurrection” or even charged with the crime by Biden prosecutor Jack Smith. “Deranged Jack Smith,” as Trump calls him, has pursued Trump with the fury of Captain Ahab – but even he realizes that “incitement” is an untenable charge.

The left may think Trump is an “insurrectionist,” but that does not make it a fact. It is a partisan opinion, and a rather hyperbolic one, too.

There is nothing democratic about banning the opposition leader from office over a political narrative developed by the party in power. Actually, that sounds like the kind of thing that a dictator would do.
