Potential showdown at the nation’s highest court

  • Colorado Republican Party appeals to U.S. Supreme Court over Trump’s eligibility for presidency
  • Appeal extends stay of Colorado Supreme Court ruling
  • U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment
  • Colorado case considered most likely to succeed in disqualifying Trump
  • Unprecedented constitutional questions in the case
  • Conservative legal theorists advocate for disqualifying Trump under Section 3
  • Plaintiffs in the Colorado case are Republican or unaffiliated voters

The Colorado Republican Party has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court over the state’s supreme court decision that found former President Donald Trump ineligible for the presidency. The appeal extends the stay of the ruling, which put its decision on pause until Jan. 4. The U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bans those who ‘engaged in insurrection’ from holding government office. The Colorado case is considered the most likely to succeed in disqualifying Trump, and conservative legal theorists argue that the constitutional language clearly bars him from running again. The plaintiffs in the Colorado case are Republican or unaffiliated voters.
