Colorado Supreme Court Disqualifies Trump from Ballot, Sparking Outrage among 2024 Republicans

TL;DR Summary
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump is constitutionally ineligible to run in the 2024 election due to the 14th Amendment's ban on insurrectionists holding public office. The decision removes Trump from the Republican primary ballot in Colorado, but he can appeal to the US Supreme Court. The ruling holds Trump accountable for his role in the January 6th insurrection and is seen as a political punishment. The case will now be taken up by the US Supreme Court, which will determine whether to hear the appeal and issue a final decision.
