After the Colorado Supreme Court‘s unprecedented decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot, one of the justices warned of subsequent “chaos” in the United States.
The Colorado Supreme Court’s 4-3 ruling determined that the MAGA leader isn’t an eligible presidential candidate because of a Civil War-era clause in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that mandates officials who take an oath to support the Constitution to be banned from office in the future if they engage in “insurrection.”
Those fighting Trump’s eligibility say his actions during and related to the January 6, 2021, siege on the U.S. Capitol amounted to engaging in an insurrection. The result of Tuesday’s ruling in Colorado will be held, pending the results of Trump’s appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
