The Colorado Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state's primary ballot.
If the Supreme Court agrees to review the issue by Jan. 4, the Colorado Secretary of State will be required to continue to include President Trump on the primary ballot.
The ruling reverses a lower court ruling that President Trump was eligible to appear on the ballot because while he did "Engage" in an "Insurrection" on Jan. 6, 2021, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment does not apply to presidents.
The Colorado Supreme Court was unpersuaded by both the lower court and President Trump's arguments that Section 3 did not apply to presidents.
"Unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group's scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump's name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice," the statement reads.
"The Colorado Supreme Court issued a completely flawed decision tonight and we will swiftly file an appeal to the United States Supreme Court and a concurrent request for a stay of this deeply undemocratic decision," spokesperson Steven Cheung stated.
Trump legal spokeswoman Alina Habba stated: "This ruling, issued by the Colorado Supreme Court, attacks the very heart of this nation's democracy. It will not stand, and we trust that the Supreme Court will reverse this unconstitutional order."
