Colorado Supreme Court justices faced threats on social media after ruling to remove Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot in the state. Advance Democracy, a nonprofit, identified "significant violent rhetoric" against the justices on platforms like Truth Social in response to Trump's posts about the ruling. Threats called for killing the justices using various methods like guns, knives, and bombs. The threats fit a pattern seen after other legal developments against Trump, like the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and the Georgia election interference indictment.
