In a historic decision, the justices ordered that he be removed from the state’s presidential primary ballot, after determining that he engaged in insurrection on 6 January 2021. The ruling sets up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to settle whether the January 6 attack on the Capitol amounted to an insurrection, and whether Trump’s involvement disqualifies him from running for office.

The 4-3 decision by the Colorado supreme court marks the first time a presidential candidate has been deemed unqualified for office under a rarely used provision that bars insurrectionists from holding office.

“A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court, whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors, wrote in its ruling.

Trump has vowed to appeal to the US supreme court, his campaign said. “We have full confidence that the US supreme court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits,” said Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson.

 

These are the same people who keep on going on about defending Democracy. You must admit it is hilarious.

 

Amusingly using such a broad brush interpretation I can see Old Joe having the same issues. Where does it stop? All the Dem states ban Trump and all the Repub States ban Old Joe?

Four of them are probably going to end up humiliated.

Here's an excellent summary of why the Colorado decision is poppycock.

Dems are the very people they claim to detest.  They practice the very things they claim to oppose.  They are hypocrites and liars.  This is a kangaroo court at its core.

Is this decision election interference?  I think so.

It is definitely.  IMO, this will only make Trump much more popular which is the plan of the Democrats as they truly want him on the ballot.  Their only issue is Biden, and his ability to actually win.  That is assuming the Dems don’t replace him at their convention.  But with whom?

Harris has really hurt them....big time.  

1.  Biden resigns

2.  Harris takes over, and picks MO as her VP.

3.  Harris resigns.

4.  MO takes over, then runs for re-election.

 

They better get off their rear ends soon.

Michelle is just a wet dream of the Democrats.  She has no desire to be President especially since she can make more money outside the WH.

I agree....but I see the plan I listed as their only hope.  Dems have no one else....no one.
