In an unprecedented legal decision, Colorado's Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump's candidacy in the state's primary next year is prohibited on constitutional grounds.
“The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot.
All seven Colorado Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats – three of the justices dissented to Tuesday’s ruling.
Attorney Eric Olson argues before the Colorado Supreme Court |
The legal challenge to block Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot in Colorado citing the 14th Amendment is headed to the state’s supreme court earlier this month.
The legal theories are based on Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have ‘engaged in insurrection or rebellion against’ the U.S. may be disqualified from public office.
Trump has not been charged with engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.
The state’s high court left room for an appeal. The ruling will go into effect on January 4th, 2024.
Trump will appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a statement released by the Trump campaign”. -Cristina Laila, Gateway Pundit
If the judicial process in America were in fact consistent and nonpartisan, involvement in any protests similar to the supposed riot at the Capitol, including the anti-Trump demonstrations and the certification challenges to the electoral votes back in 2016, would also be cited by the courts as legally disqualifying.
