<p>Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D-CO) took a wave of criticism after she first declared former President Donald Trump ineligible to appear on her state&#8217;s primary ballot — claiming that he was guilty of insurrection — and then complained that the Supreme Court had unanimously decided in Trump&#8217;s favor.</p>
<p>Griswold&#8217;s initial order, citing Section 3 (the insurrection clause) of the 14th Amendment, stated that Trump was guilty of insurrection despite the fact that neither Congress nor any court had found him to be so – and for that reason, he was ineligible to appear on Colorado&#8217;s primary ballot.</p>
<p>&#8220;States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.&#8221;</p>
<p>Griswold made an appearance on MSNBC shortly after the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-rules-trump-cant-be-kicked-off-colorado-ballot">ruling</a> was handed down — in which the Court declared: &#8220;States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;My larger reaction is disappointment,&#8221; Griswold told MSNBC host Katy Tur. &#8220;I do believe that states should be able under our constitution to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists. And ultimately this decision leaves open the door for Congress to act, to pass authorizing legislation. But we know that Congress is a nearly non-functioning body. So ultimately, it will be up to the American voters to save our democracy in November.&#8221;</p>
<p>Critics were quick to point out that if Griswold were truly interested in saving &#8220;our democracy,&#8221; the American voters should have been her first choice rather than a backup plan only adopted after her attempt to enforce her own will had been thwarted.</p>
<p>&#8220;Truth has been getting inverted at a cyclic rate lately and I’m just glad regular people see through it,&#8221; The Daily Caller&#8217;s Geoffrey Ingersoll said. &#8220;Absolutely bats*** that a person who unilaterally removed a candidate from the ballot can worry about &#8216;democracy being subverted&#8217; and not get laughed right off the screen.&#8221;</p>
