6:04Now PlayingFormer President Donald Trump is not allowed on the Colorado primary ballot, the state Supreme Court decided Tuesday afternoon. The justices ruled 4-3 that Trump should be disqualified from the primary ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
However, the decision is stayed until Jan. 4, subject to any appeals, meaning Trump's name will remain on the ballot if the decision is appealed to SCOTUS by Jan. 4.
"We do not reach these conclusions lightly. We are mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions now before us," the decision reads on page 9 of the 213-page ruling. "We are also cognizant that we travel in uncharted territory."
The state's highest court affirmed a lower court's ruling that there was an insurrection, that Donald Trump participated in it, that his incitement of insurrection was not free speech, and that the 14th Amendment applies to the President.
