Colorado Supreme Court Rules Trump is Ineligible to Run for Office
Landmark Decision Marks Major Setback for Former President
The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to run for office in the state. The decision is a major setback for Trump, who had been considering a run for president in 2024.
The court's decision was based on a provision in the Colorado Constitution that prohibits anyone who has been convicted of inciting insurrection from holding office. Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives for inciting the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, although he was acquitted by the Senate.
The Colorado Supreme Court's decision is a significant blow to Trump's political ambitions. It is also a major victory for those who believe that Trump should be held accountable for his role in the January 6th attack.
The court's decision is likely to have a ripple effect across the country. It could encourage other states to pass similar laws barring Trump from holding office. It could also make it more difficult for Trump to win the Republican nomination for president in 2024.
The Colorado Supreme Court's decision is a reminder that the rule of law still matters in the United States. Even former presidents are not above the law.
