As columnist Jason Wilick pointed out, while Democrats appointed every justice on the Colorado Supreme Court, the divide among the justices was not the party who appointed them, but where they attended law school. The justices who ruled in favor of removing Trump all attended elite and Ivy League law schools, while the justices who opposed all received their law degrees from the University of Denver. This divide is emblematic of a larger pushback against an elite who are fixated on trying to restrict democracy in the name of saving it.
