First, the Colorado's Supreme Court isn't banning Trump from the ballot, the Constitution is banning him from being on the ballot. The 14th amendment has been used multiple times after the civil war and at no point did it require a legal conviction. As the Colorado's ruling pointed out, there are three instances where a person is banned from running from President. Age, not being a citizen, and being involved in an insurrection. They are self enforcing at the state level. If the Supreme Court chooses to invalidate Colorado's method of enforcing the 14th amendment then states would no longer have any means to invalidate the other two banned classes. A 4 year old child from Iran could then run for US president. For those who say it is un-democratic, there is a remedy already built in to the constitution where Congress can restore the person's ability to hold office. You don't see the GOP running to do that do you?",888,2023-12-21 14:38:35 kebvuun,18nn2wm,Stunning court ruling on Trump could upend 2024 US presidential election,The poor bastards at r/conservative are very mad at me pointing this out right now LOL,866,2023-12-21 14:59:47 kec28t6,18nn2wm,Stunning court ruling on Trump could upend 2024 US presidential election,"plate degree chunky spotted snow paltry juggle crown bow towering *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*",280,2023-12-21 15:41:40 kebzxz5,18nn2wm,Stunning court ruling on Trump could upend 2024 US presidential election,"One of them just said that almost word for word lmaoo Spot on.

To me the most persuasive argument for opponents of the ruling (and I believe Trump is a singular threat to our nation) is on the finding that an insurrection occurred and that Trump engaged in it. Personally, I think both are clearly true. but did he receive adequate due process on those findings? He has not been charged or convicted of engaging in an insurrection in any court. Did the colorado trial court take evidence and witnesses on this? I would think a full blown trial on this issues would be needed before disqualifying a major presidential candidate from office. And that would also protect 14A/section 3 from being abused to keep other candidates off the ballot on flimsy grounds as some republicans are already threatening to do. I know there is no conviction requirement in the text of the amendment but isn’t it likely there is a significant, implicit due process requirement esp on such a massively weighty issue. Maybe he got that but it didn’t seem like it but maybe I haven’t looked closely enough.

A trial judge found as a matter of *fact* that Trump committed insurrection. They refused to remove him on the grounds that the POTUS is not an officer of the US, and therefore even though he committed treason and he swore an oath to the constitution, the 14th amendment did not apply to him because he wasn't an officer of the US. The appeal to the COSC reaffirmed that matter of fact and determined that the POTUS was in fact an officer when it comes to the 14th amendment. The argument being brought before the Supreme Court is whether or not the POTUS is considered an officer under the 14th amendment. If they are, then future POTUSes and of course Trump cannot reacquire office after insurrection without a 2/3rds vote in the legislature. If they are not, POTUSes may engage in insurrection without losing the ability to be reelected. The Supreme court is unlikely to overturn a finding of fact from a trial judge. They didn't listen to the evidence, the witnesses, and the arguments. Unless there is a matter of law up in the air on that finding of fact, it's unlikely to be overturned.
