The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case challenging Donald Trump’s eligibility to run for office in Colorado, led by 91-year-old former state lawmaker Norma Anderson, a diehard Republican.
The case is based on the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause, arguing that Trump’s actions during the Capitol attack render him ineligible for office.
“Our democracy is too precious to let a Donald Trump be president and destroy it,” Anderson said. “I knew he fit under Section 3.”
“Trump wanted to overturn an election. That’s insurrection, and that’s where 14th Amendment comes in,” she said.
“If you read your Constitution, you know what should be done and what should not be done,” Anderson said.
“Oh bull. Pardon me. Yes, it does. If you go back and read Hamilton and some what he wrote, he refers to the president as an officer,” she later said.
Anderson’s involvement reflects her belief in protecting democracy, and she sees the case as a profound effort to safeguard the country.
“I feel like I’m saving our country. Not I. The attorneys, all of us. But I’m a part of that,” she said.
The case’s significance extends beyond Colorado, as it aims to set a precedent for other states.
Despite uncertainty about the outcome, Anderson remains committed to the cause.
