Attorney General Todd Rokita co-leads 27 states in support of Donald Trump’s appeal to US Supreme Court

    6

    Attorney General Todd Rokita and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey are leading a27-state brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of former President Donald Trump’s right toappear on the Colorado ballot in 2024. 

    The brief asserts that the Constitution gives Congress, not courts, authority to decide who is eligible to run for federal office under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. 

    “American voters choose the President, not a partisan court in Colorado,” Attorney General Rokita said. “This is an obvious attempt to confuse and disenfranchise millions of voters wanting to cast their ballots for former President Donald Trump.” 

    The brief asserts the state court’s decision to declare former President Trump an insurrectionist has vast consequences that reach far beyond Colorado and will create widespread chaos just weeks before an election cycle. Given that reality, the brief argues, the U.S. Supreme Court should immediately intervene. 

    “Trust in the integrity of our elections is essential to a free republic,” Attorney General Rokita said. “If activist judges in Colorado can dilute the voices of ordinary voters in states like Indiana, all confidence in our election process will be lost.” 

    For elections to be fair, voters need a single, certain answer as to whether former President Trumpis eligible to run for president under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

      Let’s be clear.

      Todd Rokita is a weak, desperate and besieged politician, defending himself in case after case for graft, abuse of office for accepting income for work outside of his duties as an Indiana AG (it’s literally like he spits at the idea he is supposed to uphold the law,

      …instead of preserving and protecting the individual freedoms and liberties of Indiana families and homes? Rokita DOES NOT BELIEVE YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO PRIVACY IN YOUR INDIANA HOME. The STATE can invade and steal your privacy rights in your home, under Rokita?

      Are you going to accept that? HELL NO!

      But Rokita is a follower, because he is weak.

      Of course States can’t decide who is on the ballot in a Federal election. Colorado is wrong.

      Rokita is gonna jump on that bandwagon as fast as possible, cause the guy is a LOSER. If he can claim he is “already on our winning team”, like a loser, he’s gonna do that.

      • You’re absolutely wrong, Todd Rokita, serves well, and is a true conservative…..
        I’m disappointed in you, for making those false claims about him….
        You must be a DEMO-RAT in disguise attempting to decide the people standing up for TRUMP…
        Learn to stay in your own lane…..we need a real president TRUMP 2024

        • Where did you get this information. Where do you live at in Indiana? City please!

    2. Thank you, AG Rokita, for your continuing support of our Constitution and States’ rights. Keep up the good work!

        Right! We expect Rokita and Trump supporters to be weak-minded, and be willing to give up their rights to privacy in their own home! It’s your right! It makes you their bathwater, but you have the right to be their bathwater!
