A recent 4-3 ruling, the Colorado Supreme Court barred Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential primary, alleging his involvement in the January 6, 2021, insurrection. U.S. Navy veteran and congressional candidate Trent Leisy has stirred the pot by demanding treason trials for the judges behind the decision.
Leisy, a Weld County councilman, accuses the Democrat-appointed judges of betraying the constitution and stripping away rights. His bold call for treason trials, punishable by death, sparks a heated debate on the limits of political discourse.
The controversy revolves around the court’s claim that Trump engaged in insurrection. Trump and supporters denounce it as politically motivated, hoping for a reversal in higher courts before the 2024 GOP primaries.

Leisy’s endorsement of Trump as the Rightful President adds complexity to his candidacy. He argues the court aims to prevent voters from choosing Trump, even through write-ins, questioning why alleged 2020 election fraud has been ignored.
Amplifying his call for treason trials, Leisy plans a Never Surrender rally on December 30 in Colorado Springs, inviting all political affiliations to peacefully protest the traitor justices.
The judges, facing threats post-ruling, prompt increased security measures. Leisy’s commitment aligns with his belief in Trump’s leadership, even proposing legislation for a president to serve three terms if elected.
The rally’s location at DCF Guns, owned by conservative Joe Oltmann, known for controversial statements, adds another layer of complexity.
As the political climate intensifies, questions arise about free speech boundaries, judicial impartiality, and the impact of inflammatory language on the democratic process. Colorado’s events underscore deep Republican divisions as candidates navigate expressing convictions while maintaining democratic discourse.
