Colorado Voters Behind Kicking Trump Off Ballot Urge Supreme Court to Deny Secretary of State’s Request for ‘Prominent Role’

"A group of Colorado voters on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to reject the Colorado Secretary of State's petition asking to share oral argument time with them in the historic case concerning Donald Trump's ballot eligibility in the 2024 presidential election.

The group of Colorado voters, known in court papers as the "Anderson Respondents," initiated the legal proceedings that led the Colorado Supreme Court to rule in December that the former president is disqualified from appearing on presidential primary ballots under a Constitutional provision barring former officials who “engaged in insurrection” from again holding office.

Ahead of oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court scheduled for Feb. 8, Colorado's Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, filed an 8-page petition on Friday seeking 15 minutes of time before the nation's high court in order to provide "perspective on Colorado’s election laws."

In their response on Tuesday to Griswold's filing, the Anderson Respondents said "undivided argument would be most appropriate and beneficial to the Court" and asked the high court not to give Griswold time."

1. What could be more prominent than the actual voters on the ground speaking up? Trying to shoehorn in and

grab some of that free publicity.

3. I'm not ready to jump to those conclusions yet.

This could be a good-faith attempt to do just what the motion suggests. It's possible the SoS is even surprised by unexpected opposition.

The pushback itself is maybe more about keeping focus on CO Supreme Court's decision on appeal, rather than the original trial where the SoS's decision was material.

They're trying to keep this a matter of law, rather than a matter of fact. Or so I guess...

2. I don't know how to view this as the Sec'y of State is for...

trump being kept off the ballot, right? But the other respondents want an undivided argument before SCOTUS.

What's the answer?
