Trump's 'Insurrectionist Ban' Ruling: Key Takeaways and Ongoing Battle
A Colorado judge ruled that Donald Trump engaged in the January 6th insurrection, but narrowly concluded that the 14th Amendment's insurrectionist ban does not apply to presidents, allowing Trump to remain on Colorado's 2024 ballot. The ruling, while not binding on other courts, is significant as it is the most comprehensive fact-finding to date on Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The judge rejected Trump's free-speech defenses, concluding that his speech incited imminent lawless violence. The judge also embraced the House January 6 committee's findings, which blamed Trump for inciting the insurrection. The ruling could impact future challenges and potential criminal cases against Trump.
