Former President Donald Trump speaks at his Mar-a-Lago estate Tuesday, April 4, 2023, in Palm Beach, Fla. Determining whether a Civil War-era Constitutional amendment disqualifies Donald Trump from Colorado’s ballot holds enough public benefit that a lawsuit seeking to bar him as a candidate can continue, a Denver judge ruled this week.
“It goes without saying that, in the abstract, ensuring that only constitutionally qualified candidates can seek to hold the highest office in the country, particularly when the disqualification sought is based on allegations of insurrection against the very government over which the candidate seeks to preside, seeks to enforce an important right which confers a significant benefit to the public,” Wallace wrote.
Trump’s legal team and his campaign did not have comment Thursday. The lawsuit also names Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, in seeking to force her to bar Trump from the ballot under the Constitutional clause. The Colorado Republican Party has also joined the suit in opposition, arguing that barring Trump would in effect disenfranchise many of its voters.
“Even if the riot on Jan. 6 were to be considered an insurrection, there is no evidence that President Trump engaged in that insurrection. Petitioners do not point to any specific actions that President Trump took other than speaking or not speaking,” Trump attorney Geoffrey N. Blue wrote.One Colorado Republican joins state’s Democratic members of Congress to help oust McCarthy as speaker
