DENVER (AP) — A divided Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday declared former President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause and removed him from the state’s presidential primary ballot, setting up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to decide whether the front-runner for the GOP nomination can remain in the race.
I thought that as well, and expected that the only way it could be moved to the federal system is if the actions/decision is believed to violate federal law (similar to gerrymandering cases violating the voting rights act).
But I’m not a lawyer or a judge, so I know shit, apparently.
