2024 ELECTION/COLORADO/JANUARY 6TH/SUPREME COURT: “The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday barred former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s ballots for next year’s election due to his inciting the 2021 U.S. Capitol riot — but paused the decision from taking effect until Jan. 4.

The delay allows Trump to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 4-3 ruling — which he plans to do — and in doing so indefinitely extend the hold on the Colorado decision from taking effect.

The Colorado Supreme Court in that decision said there was significant evidence that showed ‘that President Trump engaged in insurrection,’ disqualifying him from serving as president under a provision in the U.S. Constitution.”
