Colorado Supreme Court Examines Trump's Eligibility for Presidency

TL;DR Summary
The Colorado Supreme Court heard arguments on whether former President Donald Trump is barred from holding office again under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who engaged in insurrection against the Constitution after taking an oath to support it. Several justices expressed skepticism towards arguments made by Trump's lawyer, including the core argument that Section 3 did not apply to the presidency. The court is hearing an appeal of a ruling that ordered Trump to be included on the Colorado primary ballot. The lawsuit was brought by Republican and independent voters who seek to keep Trump off the ballot.
