In a stunning display of liberal bias, Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan questioned the power of states to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot for the 2024 election. Colorado, in a questionable 4-3 decision, ruled to remove Trump based on the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist” clause. But Kagan, always quick to champion liberal causes, challenged the lawyer representing the Colorado voters, asking why a single state should have the authority to decide who gets to be President of the United States.
It’s a valid question that Kagan conveniently ignores. The 14th Amendment was never intended to give states the power to undermine the electoral process on a national level. Yet, here she is, implying that Colorado should have the ability to dictate the outcome of an election for the entire nation. Talk about an abuse of power!

And let’s not forget that Kagan brings up the example of Michigan and Wisconsin. She suggests that the actions of their secretaries of state could determine the victor in a presidential race. This is absurd! Our elections should not be subject to the whims of individual states. We need a uniform standard that applies to all Americans, regardless of where they live.
Lawyer Jason Murray, representing the Colorado voters, tried to set the record straight. He argued that it should ultimately be the Supreme Court’s responsibility to decide the question of federal constitutional eligibility and settle the matter for the entire nation. But Kagan, not satisfied with his answer, pushed further, questioning why a single state should have the power to make such an important determination.
The answer is simple: they shouldn’t. The Founding Fathers designed our system of government to ensure that power was not concentrated in the hands of a few. They understood the dangers of tyranny and believed in the importance of checks and balances. Giving one state the authority to remove a candidate from the ballot undermines the very foundation of our democracy.
It’s clear that Kagan’s line of questioning is driven by a political agenda. She wants to open the door to more interference in our elections, allowing states to manipulate the outcome based on their own biases. This is not what our Constitution intended. We must fight back against these liberal attempts to undermine our democratic processes and ensure that every American’s vote is protected. The Supreme Court must reject this dangerous overreach by the state of Colorado and uphold the principles of fairness and integrity in our elections.
