The Supreme Court's Role in Colorado's Trump Disqualification Case and the 2024 Election
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald Trump's actions on January 6th constituted insurrection, disqualifying him from holding future office. The decision, which relied on constitutional text and history, will now be tested if the United States Supreme Court takes up the case. The outcome could determine the Supreme Court's commitment to interpreting the Constitution and its recently adopted code of ethics. The timeliness of the decision is crucial, as it could impact the conduct of the 2024 election.
