The order will not come into force until 4 January or until the Supreme Court has dealt with the case. The ruling, which comes from a court where all the judges are appointed by Democratic governors, is the first in US history where Section Three of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate. Colorado’s highest court will deny Trump the right to be on the ballot in the state because the judges believe that what he did before and after the storming of Congress on January 6, 2021 was a rebellion against the American state and that the 14th amendment can be applied against Trump. Section three of this section of the Constitution states that persons who have been involved in rebellion against the Constitution after taking the oath to protect and defend it cannot become President of the United States. The Supreme Court judges in Colorado are thus overturning the judgment of a judge in a lower court in the state who held in November that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution cannot be used against a former US president.
