Applying the Constitution is neither anti-democratic nor partisan—it is what democracy requires.
After hundreds of pages of legal briefing, testimony by multiple witnesses, introduction of evidence, a five-day trial before a judge, and an appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court, our team proved that Trump engaged in an insurrection. Under Colorado law, because he is not constitutionally qualified to hold the office of president, he is also not eligible to be on the ballot.
Now Trump has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This process has upset some supporters of the former president. They claim that it is not democratic and undermines the will of the people. They believe that only the ballot box can be used to judge Trump. They are wrong. The courts are not disqualifying Trump—the Constitution is.
