The leftists holding state power in Colorado are making it abundantly clear: They want their favorite leftist judges to be running the United States, not the duly elected president. The proof comes in the fact they have sued the Trump administration 41 times already. Their latest agenda is to keep the financial benefits of the nation’s Space Command headquarters within their borders. Courthousenews explains the newest fight: “The state of Colorado and its attorney general Phil Weiser challenged President Donald Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Space Command headquarters from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama, in a Wednesday lawsuit.” Weiser, an ardent Democrat, insists, “The Constitution does not permit the executive to punish or retaliate against states for lawfully exercising sovereign powers reserved for the states, as President Trump and the executive branch have unlawfully done here.” He opposes Trump’s executive order to move the base, according to the report, “in retaliation for Colorado’s robust vote by mail program — an executive action Colorado says violates the state’s sovereignty.” Weiser even warns that Trump can “influence” Colorado’s election, “then the executive branch can seize other powers not delegated by the Constitution.” The federal government, in fact, does “set some standards for voting systems, including standards for their functionality and their accessibility to individuals with disabilities, older individuals, and members of language minority groups,” according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. And the president is commander of the nation’s military. Further, the federal government’s Election Assistance Commission, created under federal law, establishes guidelines for systems used in states. The Space Command has called Colorado Springs home since Trump created it in 2019, and Joe Biden made Peterson Space Force Base the formal home. But Trump said Colorado elections, mandated by Democrats in the state to be by mail-in ballots, a system that allows for corruption more easily than some other options, are a concern. “They went to all mail-in voting, so they have automatically crooked elections, and we can’t have that. When a state is for mail-in voting, that means they want dishonest elections because that’s what that means,” Trump confirmed. The report said Colorado already has “filed and joined” 41 lawsuits against Trump. Other topics include the disputed practice, under “birthright citizenship,” of giving tourist babies and children born to illegal alien criminals American citizenship. Also Colorado has attacked Trump over National Institutes of Health funding for research, an attempt to block the Department of Government Efficiency from even using the Treasury’s central payment system, an attempt to block a freeze on federal cash handouts, disputes over Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives rules, and more.
