In a historic ruling, the Colorado Supreme Court has made a groundbreaking decision to remove former President Trump from the 2024 primary ballot. This move has put the nation in uncharted territory, as the case is expected to be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, marking a significant moment in presidential politics.
The decision is based on the application of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, specifically Section 3, which states that individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States shall not hold federal office unless approved by two-thirds of both chambers of Congress. The Colorado Supreme Court concluded that Trump's actions on January 6th, 2021, when he encouraged his supporters to go to the Capitol, constituted insurrection against the Constitution.
