Trump's 14th Amendment Case Heads to Colorado Supreme Court

The Colorado Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal regarding former President Donald Trump's eligibility to run for president again. Plaintiffs argue that Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election disqualify him under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the Constitution from holding office. A state judge previously ruled that Trump had engaged in insurrection but allowed him to remain on the primary ballot, stating that the disqualification clause did not apply to the president. The court has set an accelerated timetable for the case, with oral arguments scheduled for December 6.
