Colorado Supreme Court Disqualifies Trump, Decision Heads to Supreme Court

Colorado Supreme Court rules Trump disqualified from holding presidential office.

In a surprising turn of events, the Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. The decision, which was not unanimous, comes after a lengthy legal battle surrounding Trump's alleged involvement in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.

The Colorado Supreme Court's 133-page ruling overturns a previous district court opinion, which had allowed Trump to remain on the ballot due to a technicality. The court majority concluded that Trump's actions constituted an insurrection and deemed him ineligible to hold any office, civil or military, under the United States.
