Read the Colorado Supreme Court's opinions in the Trump disqualification case
The decision by the Colorado Supreme Court's 4-3 majority tees up a high-stakes showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court over the constitutional provision at the center of the case.
he doesn't have to be prosecuted or convicted, try reading the Constitution and show us where it states he must be convicted...All you have to do isThe problem with the Colorado decision is they are taking him off the ballot for a reason he has not been charged with or convicted of. You have four judges from way left schools making a decision based on their personal opinion. Next think you know is we will have a college president plagiarizing her doctoral thesis..... Oh wait that did happen.
Yet the Constitution doesn't mention them directly because they knew that anyone could do it.There are many problems with that decision. One that is not mentioned much is the fact that that provision in the 14th Amendment was written to restrict a specific group of people who now happen to be deceased - former Confederate officers and officials.
I bet they also wear matching undies.The problem with the Colorado decision is they are taking him off the ballot for a reason he has not been charged with or convicted of.

1. insurrection is a federal crime. elections are managed by the states., who seem to have "states rights," though colorado is subject to the us constitution.And:
- Insurrection is a federal crime. Colorado has no jurisdiction and cannot convict.
- Insurrection typically means armed rebellion to overthrow a government.
- On January 6th, Trump was still the duly-elected president of the United States. Arguably, he can't overthrow his own administration.
- Eligibility for presidential office is defined in the Constitution. It would be a Constitutional crisis to allow each state to make their own eligibility rules (such as age, citizenship, ineligibility due to insurrection).

I knew someone would say that, but the only one who fired a shot was a Capitol Police when they killed an unarmed woman.2, there were plenty of arms in the capital.
I don't follow.3. an "auto gulpe" is common enough to have a name. el supremos of latino countries do this all the time.
Right, that's another reason why the federal courts have jurisdiction. The 14th also requires due process. Can't claim the 14th disqualifies Trump and then deny him due process. Completely illegal what the Kanagroo Court did.the constitution does define all qualifications, including the 14th amendment restrixtions.
Regards,i say, let him run. the 14th amendment is not a punishment, merely a recognition that failure to be guided by the oath of office is disqualifying.
The dissent goes into the denial of due process in detail. The entire trial was unfair.Your point was not responsive. Trump has not been convicted. The Colorado Supreme Court simply declared Trump guilty of insurrection without due process.
I knew someone would say that, but the only one who fired a shot was a Capitol Police when they killed an unarmed woman.
I guess you could argue that flag poles and metal barricades were were used as arms, but I don't think it met the standard of an armed rebellion.
I don't follow.

That's kind of the job you Bingo. They aren't called "judges" for nothing.The problem with the Colorado decision is they are taking him off the ballot for a reason he has not been charged with or convicted of. You have four judges from way left schools making a decision based on their personal opinion. Next think you know is we will have a college president plagiarizing her doctoral thesis.....
