"Trump Seeks Supreme Court Intervention on Colorado Ballot Disqualification"

Former President Donald Trump has petitioned the Supreme Court to reverse a Colorado state court decision that declared him ineligible for the state primary ballot due to his alleged involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack. The Colorado Supreme Court's decision, which is on hold, interprets the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause as applicable to presidential candidates. Trump's legal team argues that only Congress has the authority to determine presidential eligibility and denies that Trump engaged in insurrection. The case presents novel legal questions and could have broader implications for Trump's eligibility in other states and for the upcoming general election. The Supreme Court, with a conservative majority including three Trump appointees, has yet to decide on its intervention in this unprecedented legal issue.
