We're told that "The Colorado Supreme Court has declared
Donald Trump ineligible to run for the US Presidency over his
role in 2021 Capitol attack."
"The top court in the US State of Colorado has ruled that the
former US President is disqualified from holding office again
over his role in the January 6th 2021 assault on the US State
Capitol by his supporters."
"This verdict makes Trump the first US Presidential candidate
in the US history to be deemed ineligible for the White House
under a rarely used provision of the US Constitution that bans
officials who have engaged in "resurrection or rebellion"
against the Constitution after taking an oath to protect it."
"Trump's campaign spokesperson dubbed this verdict as
"flawed" and promised to "swiftly" file an appeal in the
US Supreme Court."
"This ruling can influence other states to invoke similar
rulings in competitive states that Trump needs to win."
There's more at the link I gave.
It will be interesting to see what develops.
Should Trump be allowed to run?
