WorldNetDaily writer Bob Unruh loves to rage against his home state of Colorado, and he does so again in an Oct. 30 article:
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.
Unruh does not back up any of his claims here — that Weiser is an “ardent Democrat,” that mail-in elections are inherently corrupt, or even that the state has sued the Trump administration 41 times. Unruh also failed to give Weiser or any other Colorado official a chance to respond to his attacks. He did, however, try to give examples of Colorado lawsuits against the administration:
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.
No explanation was given for why Unruh opposes any of these lawsuits, or why they supposedly are unnecessary.
Unurh began a Nov. 13 article with a lengthy list of partisan grievances:
Colorado has a long history of extremism, from racism to charges that it is continuing slavery.
One of its counties, Gilpin, a few years back paid out $700,000 after officials in government documents repeatedly referred to a black resident as “N—– Roy.”
A pending lawsuit claims the leftist state – it’s run by Democrats in the governor’s office, legislature and state Supreme Court – is continuing “slavery” in its work programs for prison inmates.
State officials are demanding that taxpayers nationwide fund the lucrative abortion industry, and it long has pushed the radicalism of having boys who say they are girls in girls’ showers with the females.
It has had more school shootings that just about anywhere else, the latest just weeks ago in Evergreen.
It also has a long history of attacking Christians. Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop has been in the courts for a decade for refusing to submit his Christian faith to the progressive LGBT agenda in which state officials believe.
That’s despite the state losing at the U.S. Supreme Court in the fight.
Same thing happened with the state’s demand a web designer give up her Christian faith in order to operate her business. It lost again at the Supreme Court, and taxpayers there were billed millions for state officials to waste in their legal fight.
Right now the Supreme Court is considering whether the allow the state to censor pro-Christian comments by counselors, who are urged to deliver pro-LGBT ideologies to young clients.
It’s not until the 11th paragraph that Unruh get around to the point of this article, that officials in the Denver suburb of Northglenn “are attacking three local churches for meeting to “worship, pray, study Scripture, and share meals.” It’s not until later that Unruh gets around to mentioning that these religious services are taking place in a public park — and he completely censors the fact that city officials have called the twice-a-week gatherings as too loud and disruptive. Again, he censored the viewpoint of city officials.
Unruh raged again in a Nov. 14 article:
Colorado’s years-long campaign to discriminate against and suppress Christians has added another chapter.
And it’s in court again, in the state’s deliberate discrimination against Christian preschools.
In this case, now pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Catholic Archdiocese in Denver, a group of Catholic preschools, and a Catholic family are asking for a ruling that stops the state from excluding them from a state program generally available to all others, except them.
It is the state’s “universal” preschool program that was set up by Democrats in the legislature and Democrat homosexual Gov. Jared Polis to exclude schools of faith from benefits that otherwise are generally available.
Unruh did not explain what relevance Polis’ sexuality has to this case. Still, he huffed:
Colorado’s long history of anti-Christian activism dates back more than a decade already. Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop has been in the courts for that long for refusing to submit his Christian faith to the progressive LGBT agenda in which state officials believe.
That’s despite the state losing at the U.S. Supreme Court in the fight.
Same thing happened with the state’s demand a web designer give up her Christian faith in order to operate her business. It lost again at the Supreme Court, and taxpayers there were billed millions for state officials to waste in their legal fight.
Right now the Supreme Court is considering whether the allow the state to censor pro-Christian comments by counselors, who are urged to deliver pro-LGBT ideologies to young clients. And the state recently attempted to impose its transgender beliefs on a Christian children’s camp.
Unruh identified no “transgender beliefs” the state supposedly has. Again, he prohibited state officials from having a say here.
