Colorado GOP asks U.S. Supreme Court to overturn ruling blocking Trump from state's presidential primary ballot

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Sean Grimsley, an attorney for the plaintiffs seeking to disqualify Trump in Colorado, said on a legal podcast last week that he expects the nation's high court will accept the case, and he hopes it hurries once that happens.
46% : However, the filing of the appeal may have the effect of ensuring that Trump will be on the GOP presidential primary ballot in Colorado.
43% : The Colorado Supreme Court, in its 4-3 ruling Dec. 19, found that Trump engaged in an insurrection Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol.
37% : "By excluding President Trump from the ballot, the Colorado Supreme Court engaged in an unprecedented disregard for the First Amendment right of political parties to select the candidates of their choice and a usurpation of the rights of the people to choose their elected officials," the state Republican Party wrote in its petition.
35% : Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat who supports the decision to keep Trump off the ballot, told The Colorado Sun last week that "there is a little bit of wiggle room" in the ballot certification deadline but not much.
31% : The Colorado Supreme Court stayed its decision to keep Trump off the March 5 primary ballot until Jan. 4 or until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on any appeal.
24% : The Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump is disqualified for running from office and can't appear on the state's presidential primary ballot because he violated the so-called "insurrection clause" in the Constitution.
24% : Trump continued his attack Wednesday as he cheered a ruling earlier that day by the Michigan Supreme Court leaving him on the ballot, at least for the primary, in that state.
24% : "The Colorado people have embarrassed our nation with what they did," Trump said on Sean Hannity's radio show.
24% : If the U.S. Supreme Court agrees with the Colorado Supreme Court that Trump is disqualified from running for office again under the 14th Amendment, his 2024 candidacy could be in jeopardy nationwide.
23% : The Colorado Republican Party asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court's stunning decision to block Donald Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot next year.
