Colorado Judge Allows Trump on Ballot Despite Insurrection Allegations

A Colorado judge ruled that former President Donald Trump engaged in insurrection during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol but rejected a lawsuit seeking to keep him off the state's primary ballot. The judge found that while Trump did engage in insurrection, it is unclear whether a Civil War-era Constitutional amendment barring insurrectionists from public office applies to the presidency. This is the third ruling in a week against lawsuits attempting to remove Trump from the ballot based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The decision is likely to be appealed to the Colorado Supreme Court and may ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
