The Colorado Supreme Court’s recent ruling declaring Donald Trump unfit to appear on the state’s 2024 presidential ballot has been strongly criticized by Trump’s campaign.
They accused the court of bias and interference, vowing to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The ruling is based on the insurrection clause of the U.S. Constitution, and it raises significant constitutional questions about presidential eligibility. (Trending: FBI Bribery Probe Caught Joe Biden’s Brother On Tape)

Trump’s team accused the court of assisting a “Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme” to remove Trump from the ballot to help Joe Biden.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung wrote, “Democrat Party leaders are in a state of paranoia over the growing, dominant lead President Trump has amassed in the polls.”
“They have lost faith in the failed Biden presidency and are now doing everything they can to stop the American voters from throwing them out of office next November,” he continued.
Adding, “The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision.”
The original court found “clear and convincing” evidence that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection as defined in Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Colorado Supreme Court also ruled that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three, which made it illegal under the Election Code for Colorado’s Secretary of State to list the former president as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.
This is the relevant text from Section 3 of the 14th Amendment:
“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
The decision is on hold for appeal until January 4, 2024, and it could set a precedent for future cases involving the constitutional eligibility of presidential candidates.
