It?s the first court to find that the disqualification clause of the 14th Amendment applies to Mr. Trump, in addition to affirming that he engaged in insurrection.

Former President Donald J. Trump is ineligible to hold office again, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday, accepting the argument that the 14th Amendment disqualifies him in an explosive decision that could upend the 2024 election.
In a lengthy ruling ordering the Colorado secretary of state to exclude Mr. Trump from the state?s Republican primary ballot, the justices reversed a Denver
district judge?s finding last month that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment ? which
disqualifies people who have engaged in insurrection against the Constitution after having taken an oath to support it from holding office ? did not apply to
the presidency.
They affirmed the district judge?s other key conclusions: that Mr. Trump?s actions before and on Jan. 6, 2021, constituted engaging in insurrection, and that courts had the authority to enforce Section 3 against a person whom Congress had not specifically designated.
