Colorado Supreme Court rules Trump engaged in insurrection
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Trump's actions surrounding January 6 were considered engaging in an insurrection. As a result, he cannot appear on Colorado's primary ballot due to his disqualification from serving as President again. This decision is based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits anyone who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from holding office. The ruling is currently stayed to allow Trump to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
