Colorado Supreme Court disqualifies Trump from 2024 ballot

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled to disqualify Trump from appearing on the 2024 ballot citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars individuals who have participated in insurrection or rebellion from holding public office. The ruling follows a trial where evidence was presented that Trump engaged in the January 6th insurrection. While some argue that a conviction is necessary for disqualification, historical precedents of civil actions and court cases show otherwise. The decision has faced backlash and threats, but it is important to distinguish this legal judgment from arbitrary disqualifications by authoritarian regimes in other countries.
