This followed a lower court’s decision that he was ineligible to be on the ballot due to breaching the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. Trump’s attorneys claimed in their submission that this clause does not apply to Trump since a president does not fall under the category of a “United States officer”. Furthermore, they contended that, regardless of his status, Trump did not participate in any activity that could be classified as an “insurrection.” Attempts are being made in numerous states to prevent Trump from appearing as a candidate on ballots, and according to an argument in the brief, these actions could strip millions of American voters of their rights. Moreover, these efforts have the potential to create turmoil and disorder across the nation if other states decide to follow Colorado’s example by disqualifying the probable GOP presidential hopeful based on their ballots. Last month, the Supreme Court of Colorado determined that Trump is not qualified to hold office, referencing a section of the 14th Amendment which disqualifies anyone from state or federal positions if they have previously pledged to support the Constitution but then actively participated in an insurrection or rebellion against it. The court made reference to the conduct exhibited by Trump on January 6th. On January 6, 2021, he unequivocally incited a riotous group of his followers to besiege the U.S. Capitol. “These determinations are made with considerable gravity,” stated the Colorado tribunal in its verdict. We are fully aware of the significance and seriousness of the issues currently under consideration. We are also fully aware of our serious responsibility to enforce the law impartially and without prejudice, regardless of how the public may respond to the verdicts that we are required to deliver according to the law. Trump’s attorneys swiftly filed an appeal, requesting the involvement of the U.S. Supreme Court in the matter.
