Democrats' *Imprison/Disqualify Trump* Strategy for 2024

Alright, hearing about the CO decision to keep Trump off the ballots made me pretty mad. But I've had a chance to calm down now. Some scattered thoughts:

• Of course, gotta read the decision. Perhaps it's right, though I doubt it. Turley doubts it, too. 
• The general Democrat strategy of shotgun lawfare is revolting in the extreme, and in itself constitutes an argument for smaller government and fewer laws. What the Dems are demonstrating, basically, is that there are enough laws to take someone--perhaps anyone--down if they face a sufficiently cracked and monomaniacal opposition.

• The Capitol riot was not an "insurrection." It was a lot of things, including a national disgrace. But it was neither an insurrection nor a rebellion.
• But it was a bit insurrectiony. Whatever it was, it was way over the line. In a sane world, I'd never even consider voting for a person who had anything to do with causing it.
• Believing that the Capitol riot was an insurrection is (false, but) not crazy. It may be one of the contemporary left's least crazy ideas...
• If you think that someone fomented insurrection against the United States, it's rational to do a whole lotta things to keep him from gaining the Presidency. 
• Trump did not directly incite the riot.
• Trump did provoke it. If you (falsely) tell people that their democracy is being stolen, you make it rational for them to do things like the Capitol riot--and worse.

But in the end, what matters right now is the legal question: did the CO supreme court rule correctly?

That's a legal question about which I don't really deserve an opinion.
