Former President Donald Trump is ineligible under the 14th Amendment to
run for president in 2024 because of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S.
Capitol, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday -- a historic
decision that sets up a battle before the nation's highest court.
"We conclude that ... President Trump engaged in insurrection," the
justices wrote in the 4-3 ruling. "President Trump’s direct and express efforts, over several months, exhorting his supporters to march to the
Capitol to prevent what he falsely characterized as an alleged fraud on
the people of this country were indisputably overt and voluntary."
"[W]e conclude that because President Trump is disqualified from holding
the office of President under Section Three, it would be a wrongful act
under the Election Code for the Secretary to list President Trump as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot."
The justices stayed their ruling until Jan. 4, pending a likely appeal.
