    How? What have the judges done to coerce the secretary?

    Note the specific charge against Trump, 'comforting an insurrection', which exactly parallels the expression in the 14th Amendment clause.

    If you don't see, it's not because it isn't there, but because you have chosen to be willfully blind, like other members of the Trump cult. I don't know why anyone bothers responding to you, and I certainly no longer will.

    And their orders are just words. Therefore, if their orders have coerced her then their words have coerced her, which according to you is impossible.

    No one has been charged with insurrection. You can’t pretend two different crimes are the same. I’m sorry you can’t get past that. Good riddance.

    I didn’t say their orders coerced her. Words cannot coerce. Words cannot order. Words cannot do what you keep trying to pretend they do. I said they ordered her.

    Yes, thanks for repeating the nonsense.

    The hypocrisy in your claim that the court saying things is an act of coercion but that Trump saying things can't be an act of influence is laughable.

    This is what happens when you will do anything to refuse to admit that Trump is in the wrong.

    Fwiw, this is incoherent. The words have no coercive power. The threat of losing his/her job might. But that's not on the judge/s by the other commenter's account.

    Humans command by using words, just like humans kill by using a gun.

    And Trump influenced his cult by using his words.

    Right, humans command. Humans order. But you believe commands command and orders order. I’m just trying to wade through the magical thinking here.

    I don't see why he's fighting to be on any ballot considering he's already told us the elections are rigged. Why does he want to enter a contest where he knows the result is already decided against him? It seems more fair that he be cheated early by the Colorado courts than to force him through the time and expense to just be cheated later by the vote counters.Hanover

    :lol:

    If he loses it’s rigged, if he wins it’s just.
