RedState's "Bonchie" has a tendency to hyperventilate a bit too often for my taste, but I think he's spot-on here

Like Maine’s Secretary of State’s decision to bar Trump, it was all about personal aggrandizement and Democrat political maneuvering.

Colorado Secretary of State Changes Course, Puts Donald Trump Back on the Primary Ballot

“Regarding the specifics here, this isn't surprising to anyone who was able to take a deep breath when Trump was originally removed. As I wrote following Maine's decision to pull Trump from its ballot, these are cheap stunts not meant to succeed technically, but rather to put the Supreme Court in a position to rule for Trump.”

What does that tell you? It tells you that none of these cheap stunts are meant to succeed technically. It's essentially a foregone conclusion that the U.S. Supreme Court will not only keep the stays in place, but they will ultimately rule against the states trying to use the 14th Amendment without any due process to bar Trump from the ballot. 

In the end, Bellows doesn't believe she'll win. She just wants her name in lights while setting up the U.S. Supreme Court to play the bad guy for half the country. It's a tactic the Biden administration has used over and over, enacting illegal measures with an eye on passing the buck to the judiciary so they can cry foul when they lose. 

“What does that accomplish? It hands Democrats fresh fodder to try to once again delegitimate the nation's high court. Once a final decision is made and these Democrat states are fully slapped down, members of the left are going to lose their minds on the Supreme Court in an attempt to drive turnout in response. Get ready for a lot of "treason" and "tyranny" talk about the conservative justices.

“That was always the goal here. All the shouting from the right was pointless because Trump was never going to be kept off the ballot, and all the celebrating from outlets like CNN and MSNBC was pointless because Trump was never going to be kept off the ballot. Welcome to the kabuki theater that is modern politics.”
