A shameless insurrectionist is running for president while under 91 felony indictments. To add to this historic situation, the Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday banned Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot. The 4-3 decision follows the [clear language of the Constitution's 14th Amendment](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnZVxXP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvenczZWZka3NuYi8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPXFjcHlmaXBmZ2JXA3NwY0IKZX1Z14Jl64EEalIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) barring those who "have engaged in insurrection" from running for office.
