According to BBC, this verdict is a big blow to Donald Trump. Trump will appeal the verdict to the Supreme Court. However, this ruling does not apply to states outside of Colorado.
A seven-judge bench of the Colorado Supreme Court ruled against Donald Trump by a 4-3 vote. At this time they resorted to the ‘sedition’ clauses of the US Constitution. According to the clause, those who rebel, cannot become the President of the United States. This is the first time in the history of the United States that a former president has been declared ineligible for re-election by applying Article 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the country’s constitution.
According to the Colorado Supreme Court, Trump’s role in instigating the attack on Capitol Hill is proven. That is why this judgment has been given against him in the 2024 presidential election.
