Opinion: My county’s GOP censured me, but my Colorado lawsuit against Trump would enforce the Constitution

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:34 GMT

If only being censured by the Arapahoe County Republican Party meant I would be spared the daily barrage of unsolicited GOP fundraising text messages.On Monday, the county party’s central committee censured the four Republican plaintiffs in Anderson et al v. Griswold et al, of which I am one. The case, heard this week in the Colorado Supreme Court, examines whether former President Donald Trump is eligible to run for president under the U.S. Constitution.The censure serves as an object lesson to the importance of civic education. I’ll put my MA in political science to work and examine the document’s “whereas” statements starting with the expectation that party members support the GOP platform and principles.Presumably, they meant the official 59-page 2016 platform adopted by the Republican National Committee. If so, the lawsuit to force Colorado’s Secretary of State Jenna Griswold to uphold the Constitution and keep Trump off the ballot should check that box for me...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:08:34 GMT

An ambitious initiative unveiled by Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at the Twenty-eighth Conference of Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Dubai has the potential to significantly shape the global energy landscape. This initiative – namely the Joint Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) for Kazakhstan – is not just a domestic energy policy but a strategic manoeuvre of international policy and energy security.Known for its oil and gas reserves, Kazakhstan has historically been a major petrochemical producer.

"As the world decarbonises," Tokayev explained at COP28, "critical minerals will become irreplaceable in the coming decades. Kazakhstan is ready to become the main supplier of these transition minerals." Globally, Kazakhstan ranks first in terms of the total reserves and quality o...
