No matter what we think of Donald Trump politically, he must be treated fairly by our justice system. Equal treatment before the law not only means that everyone is held accountable, but also that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Trump has not been proven guilty of insurrection in a court of law, and a ruling based on nothing but that opinion is stepping onto a very slippery slope.

Lmao what? It's a constitutional provision which a higher court has made a judgement on. We'll see how it goes. Uncommon Marianne L.

That's the point. They made a ruling on someone's guilt although that person had not been proven guilty in a court of law.

They didn't rule on his guilt. This seems like an opportunity to show your principles which I do respect, but I also see this as a misinterpretation of the mechanisms at play.

That's why this is a remarkable legal issue. It will be interesting to see how SCOTUS rules.

The 14th amendment has a due process clause baked into it right there in section 1. Trump was denied due process. Plain and simple.

How is the Colorado Supreme Court not a court of law?

So Robert E Lee and other confederates should’ve been allowed to run for office after the civil war?

We all saw it, he said he would, then he did. It's not just an opinion

Trump was impeached for inciting insurrection. That's more than enough to make the case for barring him from office. Does the insurrection clause require a conviction for disqualification? I do not believe so.

You can literally google this and see why the ruling is on the up and up.
