The Colorado Supreme Court's Decision to Ban Trump from the Ballot

The Colorado Supreme Court made a historic decision to ban Trump from their state's ballot. They invoked a little-known insurrection clause in the 14th Amendment, stating that Trump was responsible for the insurrection on January 6. This ruling is significant because it is the first instance that deems Trump culpable for the insurrection and disqualifies him from holding public office. The court argues that the 14th Amendment Section 3, created after the Civil War, ensures accountability for those who engage in insurrection or rebellion. While this ruling could have political implications and fuel Trump's victim narrative, it emphasizes the importance of applying the law fairly and impartially.
