Colorado Court bars Trump from ballot under 14th Amendment
The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump is barred from Colorado’s ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment for taking an oath to the Constitution and “engaging in insurrection.” Experts say the ruling, the first use of the provision to bar a candidate, could reach the U.S. Supreme Court and affect elections nationwide.

Supreme Court likely to rule on Section 3 Trump disqualification
Colorado's 4-3 ruling keeps Trump off the ballot only until January 4 or the Supreme Court acts. The high court has never ruled on Section 3's meaning, and cases across states face delays. The Colorado majority argued the presidency is a U.S. office and Trump’s Capitol attack fits insurrection, while dissenters criticized the rushed process.
