Group sues to keep Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado in 2024

You've by now probably heard from some liberal that Donald Trump isn't even eligible to be president according to the 14th Amendment. Trump led an insurrection against the country, and that disqualifies him. A group in Colorado has filed a lawsuit to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot in the state, which sure sounds a lot like election interference.

ABC News reports:

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW), a Washington-based watchdog group, on Wednesday filed a lawsuit on behalf of a handful of voters seeking to bar former President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot in Colorado under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment based on his alleged involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The suit -- quickly dismissed by Trump's team -- marks one of the first serious challenges to his qualifications as a presidential candidate based on a 14th Amendment argument.

Section 3 states that someone isn't eligible for future office if, while they were previously in office, they took an oath to support the Constitution but then "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or [gave] aid or comfort to the enemies thereof," unless they are granted amnesty by a two-thirds vote of Congress.

That seems to assume that Trump incited the "insurrection" or somehow took place in it. Trump was impeached for it but acquitted by the Senate.

It seems like a sure way to ensure a ton of write-ins.

It will be interesting to see how CREW proves in court that Trump is guilty of insurrection. He hasn't been tried yet.
