Trump's Colorado ruling sparks controversy and calls for voter decision

A judge in Colorado ruled in favor of Donald Trump in a case seeking to bar him from running for president again, but the ruling was flawed. The judge acknowledged persuasive arguments on both sides and suggested a glaring error in the Constitution, even though there isn't one. The judge concluded that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who engaged in insurrection from holding office, doesn't apply to the presidency. However, common sense and the plain language of the provision suggest that an insurrectionist former president should be barred from public office, especially the presidency. The plaintiffs have filed an appeal at the Colorado Supreme Court, hoping for a different outcome.
