Controversy Erupts Over Colorado Judges' Decision to Remove Trump from Ballot

Former federal prosecutor Francey Hakes criticized the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove former President Trump from the state's 2024 ballots, calling it a "shocking" and "hot garbage" opinion. Hakes argued that the decision lacked due process and constitutional basis, as the court determined Trump committed a crime without a trial or jury. The disqualification, based on the 14th Amendment, is related to the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. The ruling is stayed until January 4 pending likely appeals. The Trump campaign plans to file an appeal.
