In a bombshell Decision, Colorado's Supreme Court on Tuesday, Ruled Trump's Candidacy in the state is Prohibited on Constitutional grounds.
"A majority of the court holds that President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution," the Ruling said. "Because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado Secretary of State to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.”
The First-of-its kind Ruling stems, from a Lawsuit that focused om Section 3 in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Similar Challenges in other States have proven Unsuccessful in Primaries and Cuscuses, but were told to bring the Cases back for the General Election.
The Decision from Colorado's High Court, reverses a Lower Court's Ruling, that said Trump had engaged in Insurrection by Inciting a Riot on Jan. 6, 2021, but that Presidents are Nnot subject to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, because they are Not an “officer of the United States.” Which I aaid was a wrong Decision.
The State Supreme Court Agreed that Trump, had engaged in Insurrection, but Rejected the Lower Court's Finding that the Ppresident is Nnot an Public Officer of the Country that Elected Him. Section 3 also says it does Not need a conviction, and that Congress on a 2/3rd Vote could Pardon Trump, if they decided to take the Case.
Section 3 of the Civil War-era 14th Amendment says: “No person shall ... hold any office, civil or military, under the United States ... who, having previously taken an oath ... as an officer of the United States, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
Trump, who has called the Efforts to keep Him Off the Ballot “nonsense” and “election interference,” is likely to try to Appeal Tuesday’s Colorado Ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Courts have ruled Against similar efforts to get Trump Banned from the Primary or Caucus Ballot in: Arizona, Michigan and Minnesota.
The Plaintiffs challenging Trump’s Eligibility in Michigan, filed an Appeal to that State’s High Court on Monday.
UPDATE
As soon as Trump goes to the Supreme Court, Colorado's Supreme Court will put a Hold on this Decision. The filing date for the 2024 Primary is Jan. 3rd, 2024. So it is possible Trump gets on the Primary Ballot, but then is removed from the General Election Ballot.
