   Democratic Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold trashed the   
   Supreme Court on Friday after the justices signaled they were   
   leaning towards overruling Colorado's high court decision to ban   
   former President Trump from the state's primary ballot.   
      
   Griswold told CNN anchor John Berman she knows that the Supreme   
   Court has "not been friendly" to democracy the day after the body   
   heard oral arguments in the Trump v. Anderson case on Thursday.   
      
   The state official stressed the importance of the case and noted she   
   found it surprising that the justices did not seem to discuss   
   whether Trump committed an "insurrection" on Jan. 6, 2021.   
      
    "We know this is a court that has not been friendly to democracy,   
   voting rights, and fundamental freedoms. I think, ultimately, this   
   case is really important," she said.   
      
   She then noted the feeling she got while seeing the government   
   buildings in D.C. this week as the case began and imagining a pro-   
   Trump mob storming them.   
      
   "It was stunning yesterday. We can just see the Capitol right across   
   the street, re-imagine what it was like, those congresspeople   
   running for their lives, a violent mob going to stop the peaceful   
   transfer of power, and then being in the Supreme Court and hearing   
   Donald Trump continue to lie about his role in the insurrection. So,   
   it was a bit surreal," she said.   
      
   Berman pressed Griswold on whether she thinks Colorado will win the   
   case against Trump. The official did not answer the question   
   directly, but mentioned that the case is important because it will   
   "explore section 3 of the 14th Amendment."   
      
   "It was designed with the understanding that insurrectionists in   
   office is tremendously dangerous, that insurrectionists, if they are   
   elected, can destroy democracy from within," she said.   
      
   Griswold also noted that she is "hesitant" to read too much into the   
   oral argument portions of these cases, opting to withhold a   
   prediction. Even left-leaning media pundits acknowledged Thursday,   
   however, that the justices' questioning indicated Trump would win   
   the case.   
      
   Griswold said she was shocked that the justices seemed uncertain   
   about how they would "ever define insurrection."   
      
   "It’s the United States Supreme Court. They have all the tools to be   
   able to define what an insurrection is," she stated. "Make no   
   mistake, Donald Trump broke the laws. He incited that violent mob."

   Quite the contrary. The Supremes are looking at ensuring democracy   
   by allowing The People to vote for their preferred candidates vs   
   having State level bureaucrats determine who is on the Federal   
   ballot.
