Colorado Supreme Court Rules Trump Will Not Be Allowed on Primary Ballot | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled former President Donald Trump will not be allowed on the state's 2024 primary ballot, citing the US Constitution's Insurrection Clause. This is the first time in history that section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate. Former President Trump is expected to appeal the decision, likely setting up a showdown in the US Supreme Court. Senior Legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation and a Constitutional Law Expert, John Malcolm, explains how the Colorado court arrived at this decision when Trump has not been convicted of anything related to January 6th. Malcolm discusses whether this type of ruling has ever been made in the past and what kind of precedent it could set moving forward. He tells us in terms of an appeal, what he expects the Supreme Court to do with the Colorado decision. Malcolm fills us in on how he thinks this ruling will affect the already contentious and divisive state of the 2 parties and their bases. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
