Colorado's radical Democrat-controlled House is staging a direct rebellion against the Supreme Court, advancing legislation that would create new civil lawsuit pathways to target conversion therapy providers just days after SCOTUS delivered a crushing blow to their unconstitutional ban.
The brazen end-run around the nation's highest court has sparked outrage from Republican lawmakers, with one GOP representative calling the move a "slap in the face" to the Supreme Court's authority. This is exactly the kind of lawless behavior we've come to expect from Democrats who refuse to accept constitutional limits on their power.
Social media erupted with reactions to Colorado's defiance. Conservative activist @ashlanddog celebrated the original SCOTUS victory, posting: "Susan Quinn - SCOTUS strikes down Colorado ban on 'conversion therapy' A major win." But that celebration may have been premature, as Democrats immediately began scheming new ways to circumvent the Court's decision.
Republicans Fight Back Against Democrat Power Grab
Rep. Ken deGraaf didn't hold back in taking on what @michaelkvance described as "the extremist left in the legislature," calling out Democrats for pushing "their own version of conversion therapy permanently harming children, most of whom realize they were born in the right bodies."
This latest Democrat scheme exposes their complete disregard for the Constitution and parental rights. While they claim to protect children, they're actually attacking families who seek help for their struggling kids while simultaneously promoting irreversible gender treatments that truly harm young people.
"Colorado Democrats are more interested in waging culture war than respecting constitutional authority," one GOP source told reporters.
The timing couldn't be more revealing. Instead of accepting the Supreme Court's constitutional ruling, Colorado Democrats immediately pivoted to find new ways to persecute religious counselors and therapists who help families in crisis.
This is what happens when radicals control state governments – they'll stop at nothing to impose their extreme agenda, even if it means openly defying the Supreme Court. Colorado families deserve better than legislators who put ideology above constitutional law.
