In a recent development, the state of Colorado is set to appeal a decision allowing former President Donald Trump's bid for re-election to proceed. The case centers around the interpretation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, specifically whether someone found to have engaged in insurrection should be barred from running for office. Legal experts are divided on the matter, as there is limited precedent to guide such cases.
John Dean, former White House counsel to President Richard Nixon, believes there is a high probability that Colorado will succeed in upholding their decision. He suggests that Colorado's stance is grounded in conservative scholarship, specifically citing Article Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. It remains to be seen how the California secretary of state will make their decision in light of this legal argument.
