WEEK 445 / 583 — Colorado
Vol. 7 ·  Chapter 47 — The Ballot · Dec 19 – Dec 25, 2023
Manga panel 1 of 5, Week 445 “Colorado”: Backstage in Waterloo, the phone just raised, his eyes flung wide: Denver has ruled four to three to strike his name from the ballot.
TUESDAY, DENVER, FOUR TO THREE: STRIKE THE NAME. THE DEFENDERS SPEAK FIRST.
Jonathan Turley: “This country is a powder keg and this court is just throwing matches at it…for people that say they are trying to protect democracy, this is hands down the most anti-democratic opinion I’ve seen in my lifetime.”
Manga panel 2 of 5, Week 445 “Colorado”: One hand on the cold glass at first light, his face hurt rather than furious: the morning answer to Colorado is grief.
“A SAD DAY IN AMERICA!!!”
Manga panel 3 of 5, Week 445 “Colorado”: In a pale winter overcoat before the marble columns, head bowed: for a precedent that fits his sense of scale he reaches back to 1860.
BY NIGHTFALL HE HAS FOUND HIS PRECEDENT.
The last time the Democrats took someone off the ballot was in 1860 - They would not allow a man named Abraham Lincoln to be so much as mentioned in “Slave States.” Gateway Pundit
Manga panel 4 of 5, Week 445 “Colorado”: Fist punched into the winter sunlight: the Supreme Court refuses the prosecutor's shortcut, and the calendar goes back to work for him.

This week in the saga

Tuesday evening, while he is in Waterloo playing the countdown, Denver rules four to three: strike the name from the ballot. An officer of an insurrection, says the court, and the fourteenth amendment does the rest. He answers first through his defenders' mouths — the scholars calling it a powder keg — and then, by morning, in his own voice, and the voice is not a roar: a sad day in America. By nightfall he has reached for the only precedent that fits his sense of scale, the last man the Democrats kept off ballots — Lincoln, 1860. Then the counterpunch: the Supreme Court refuses the special counsel's shortcut on immunity, and the calendar, his oldest ally, resumes its slow work. He spends Christmas by the fire sharpening the season's greeting into a blade, wishing his enemies well the way a duelist does.
