Supreme Court of Colorado Disqualifies Trump from GOP Primaries
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of the State of Colorado ruled that former President Donald Trump has been disqualified from competing in the Republican Party primaries. The ruling, which was based on the 14th amendment to the constitution, came after the incident of breaking into the Capitol in early January 2021.
The court invoked section 3 of the 14th amendment, which states that anyone involved in rebellion cannot run for the presidency of the United States. The decision is set to take effect next month, allowing Trump the possibility of appealing to the US Supreme Court. It is anticipated that Trump will seek a conservative majority in the Supreme Court to potentially overturn the ruling.
Initially, the lower court in the city of Denver rejected the claim of the secretary of state of Colorado, determining that Trump did violate the sedition clause but arguing that section 3 of the 14th amendment does not apply to Trump.
In response to the ruling, the Trump headquarters issued a statement accusing the judges in Colorado of being Democrats funded by George Soros. They also indicated that an appeal will be filed soon, expressing confidence that the Supreme Court will overturn the decision.
This decision has already caused a stir in the political landscape and is expected to have significant implications for the upcoming election. As the legal battle continues to unfold, the disqualification of Trump from the Republican Party primaries is a pivotal development in the ongoing debate surrounding his future political aspirations.
