The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling to keep former President Trump off the state’s ballot due to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, attack has been criticized by former White House lawyer Ty Cobb.
Cobb believes the U.S. Supreme Court would likely override the ruling if appealed, potentially leading to a 9-0 decision in favor of Trump.
He argues that the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision misapplied the 14th Amendment and suggests a political agenda behind the ruling. (Trending: Prominent LGBTQ Activist Arrested Over Disturbing Charges)

Ty Cobb, who represented Trump during Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation into Russian interference said, “I think this case will be handled quickly.”
“I think it could be 9-0 in the Supreme Court for Trump,” he continued.
According to a write-up of the interview, “Cobb further argued the ruling ‘vindicates’ Trump’s ‘insistence that this is a political conspiracy to interfere with the election and that … he’s the target and people shouldn’t tolerate that in America.’”
Cobb reportedly repeated, “I do believe it could be 9-0, because I think the law is clear.”
“The real key issue in this case is — is Trump an officer in the United States in the context in which that term is used in the Article 3 of the 14th Amendment,” said Cobb.
“And in 2010, Chief Justice Roberts explained in [Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board] that people don’t vote for officers of the United States,” he added.
“The Supreme Court though will not hesitate to move quickly on this; they know what the stakes are. They know what their responsibility is,” explained Cobb.
Adding, “And they can delay some of these Colorado dates to the extent that they feel they’re obligated to or have to.”
The Colorado GOP has promised an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Trump campaign has expressed a similar intention.
