Colorado Supreme Court rules that Trump cannot run for president in the state

1

This Tuesday, December 19, the Colorado Supreme Court surprised by ruling that former Republican President Donald Trump will not be able to participate in the state’s 2024 electoral primaries, seeking the presidency of the United States.

The court, in an unprecedented decision, based its choice on the “insurrectionist prohibition” of the 14th Amendment, stating that Trump is not eligible as a presidential candidate. The decision will be temporarily suspended until January 4th, pending appeal. Although the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling only has effect in the state, its historic nature promises to shake up the 2024 presidential race.

The 14th Amendment, ratified after the Civil War, states that officials who swear to support the Constitution can be barred from future office if they are involved in insurrections. Despite its vague wording, which does not explicitly mention the presidency, this amendment has been applied only twice since 1919.

The lawsuit was filed by six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters, backed by the liberal watchdog group “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington” (Crew). They claim that Trump is disqualified from a new presidency due to his role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection. Despite expectations, opponents won several victories before the trial, overcoming attempts by Trump and the Colorado Republican Party to reject the case. Trump, for his part, denies any wrongdoing in relation to the events of January 6, with his campaign arguing that opponents are stretching the law’s interpretation beyond what is reasonable. At his rallies, the former president ridiculed the process, and his lawyers say depriving voters of the opportunity to decide on his return to the White House would be “un-American.” Trump’s unsuccessful attempts to dismiss the lawsuit included arguments about the incorrect interpretation of Colorado’s voting access laws, the political nature of the issue, which only Congress should decide, and the alleged violation of his free speech rights. Trump’s lawyers recently asserted that the Colorado statute provides no basis to bar a presidential candidate under the 14th Amendment, adding that the former president never endorsed or incited violence on January 6, 2021.

Texas governor signs package of laws to arrest illegal immigrants

The Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, signed a law that makes it a crime to illegally cross the borders of the second most populous state in the USA.

If you do not present documents, the immigrant will be arrested and deported to Mexico. If you are a repeat offender, the prison sentence can be up to 20 years.

Known as SB4, the law comes into force in March and creates a precedent for the person to be returned to the place where they began crossing into American territory — in this case, Mexico with which Texas shares an extensive 3,100-kilometer border.

In his third term as representative of the party’s hard wing, Abbott pointed the finger at the current American president’s administration, which has recorded immigration records. “The Biden administration’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” he argued.

Therefore, in line with former President Donald Trump, the governor follows his aggressive playbook with regard to border security. Over the weekend, Trump announced the goal of greater deportation of illegal immigrants if he regains command of the American government.

It is worth remembering that the three regulations signed by the governor of Texas make up the strictest anti-immigration package in the last 20 years and should quickly come up against the Supreme Court. One of them foresees the construction of a wall costing US$1.5 billion (around R$7.3 billion) on the border with Mexico.

In an election year, Abbott’s gesture clearly challenges the federal government, which is responsible for curbing illegal immigration. Among its detractors are civil rights organizations and a group of 30 judges who challenge the constitutionality of the Texas package and promise to appeal the decision.

A staunch opponent of President Joe Biden, the governor has been stretching the ropes with extreme actions to draw attention to the flow of immigrants at the southern border. In recent months, he has dispatched more than 60,000 people who arrived in the state, destined for cities governed by Democrats.

Even without the stars Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne – both of them and Belgian Jeremy Doku were cut from the competition.

Coach Pep Guardiola’s team beat the Japanese team 3-0, opening the scoring with an own goal from Höibraaten in the first half, and completing in the second half with Kovacic and Bernardo Silva. 

As a result, the first half was completely dominated by Manchester City, but playing without a center forward, the English team relied on exchanging passes to beat Urawa’s defense. Without success, it was necessary to resort to medium-range shots, well saved by goalkeeper Nishikawa.

The goal only came in stoppage time, precisely in one of City’s few moves from the wing: after scoring on the right, Matheus Nunes crossed low into the area, defender Höibraaten tried to cut it and ended up scoring against it.

With this, City didn’t need to make an effort to increase the score in the second half against Urawa who needed to go on the attack. After just six minutes, full-back Walker advanced with the ball and made a perfect throw for Kovacic to make it 2-0.

At 13, Nishikawa blocked Matheus Nunes’ shot, but Bernardo Silva scored on the rebound. Even managing the result, City continued to dominate the match until the end.

Now, Manchester City will have until Friday (22) to prepare to face the American champions, the Brazilian team Fluminense, in the grand final of the club world championship.

Further details have not yet been revealed by the team and the NBA in order to maintain the athlete’s privacy. Stephen Curry said that the Golden State Warriors are confident in their ability to improve their behavior so that they can soon return to the court.

The decision applied by the NBA on the player was due to numerous aggressive actions, but mainly due to the action taken against Jusuf Nurkic in the match against the Phoenix Suns, on Tuesday (12). However, this is not the first punishment the athlete has received, at the beginning of the season, Draymond Green applied a rear naked choke to Rudy Gobert while playing against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The indefinite suspension recommends that the player receive advice regarding his actions.

In addition to the return of the cyclist, the competition will also make its debut next year, as 2019 was the last year of competition, the same year in which the cyclist participated in the stages and won the match he was running in Alto de Palmas. Before the announcement of his new team, the athlete had participated in the Colombian Championship, earlier this year, independently.

“The years have passed and hope has not been lost, but we must be aware and realistic as well. It is necessary to always speak with reality and without deceiving anyone. The important thing is that motivation is present in this restart. I feel like I should take advantage of the great opportunities I have now and I should take advantage of them too,” said Nairo Quintana.

Due to signs of Tramadol having been found in his latest tests, in which he anticipated competitions, the athlete was accused of having practiced doping and violating one of the rules described in the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) regulations. However, Nairo Quintana did not comply with decisions established at the time regarding the actions.

Even denying the facts and stating that he was considered innocent, the cyclist was released from his former team, Arkéa-Samsic, and disqualified from the 2022 Tour de France by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, leaving him without a team and absent from professional sport for approximately one year.

“I always wanted to do the Giro. It’s one of my favorite races because it’s close to Slovenia and as kids we loved watching the Giro and going to the stages. I have some best memories from the Giro, when Luka Mezgec won a stage in Tieste. I was there and it was an unforgettable moment”, said the athlete.

Tadej Pogocar continued to report on his desire to participate in the Italian competition: “It was always a dream to be in the Giro. Then came the United Arab Emirates, the first race to do the Vuelta a España and then the Tour and it was such a success that it never came time for the Giro. I’m not so young anymore and I think I can do two Grand Tours. I probably could have done it sooner, but it’s a good time to have a new challenge in my career.”

During the press conference, the athlete was asked about his objective of winning both competitions, which he denied, stating that he wanted to win and give priority to the World Championship, which will be held in Zurich, Switzerland, in September. The cyclist also commented that preparation for the competitions will be different from those held in recent years.

The fitness trainer also claims that Palmer scolded him and called him names when she was allegedly drunk. In the documents, he stated that he is living with his mother and wants joint legal and physical custody of their 10-month-old son, Leo.

In November, Palmer was granted a temporary restraining order against her ex, as well as custody of their son. She accused Darius of “destroying [her] personal property,” “throwing [her] belongings into the street,” “throwing [her] car keys to prevent [her] from driving away,” “hitting [her] in front of [their] son” and “spewing profanities about [her] to [their] son”.

The singer’s sister also revealed that Celine has a desire to perform again. “It’s true that in both our dreams and hers, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? I don’t know”, she explained.

In December 2022, Celine announced the cancellation of the rest of her “Courage” world tour, due to a progressive and incurable neurological disease that attacks the muscles, including the vocal cords, and also the heart.

“The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is what comes to get me. Because it’s one out of a million cases, the scientists haven’t done that much research because it didn’t affect that many people”, said Claudette to 7 Jours. 

Celine made a rare public appearance on October 30, during an NHL game at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. She also posted some photos from the day on her Instagram account, posing with her sons, René-Charles, 22, and the 13-year-old twins, Eddy and Nelson, whom she shares with her late husband René Angélil.
