A liberal group on Wednesday filed a lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot in Colorado, arguing he is ineligible to run for the White House again under a rarely used clause in the U.S. Constitution aimed at candidates who have supported an “insurrection.”

The lawsuit, citing the 14th Amendment, is likely the initial step in a legal challenge that seems destined for the U.S. Supreme Court. It was filed on behalf of six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters by the group Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington.

It will jolt an already unsettled 2024 primary campaign that features the leading Republican candidate facing four separate criminal cases.

[No it won’t. It’s performative lawfare, nothing more, and stupid lawfare at that. Not only has Trump never been convicted of “insurrection,” he’s never even been charged with it. It would take a conviction on insurrection or rebellion charges to create a 14th Amendment impediment to the ballot, because in America, people don’t yet have their rights infringed or otherwise penalized by government without due process. Read the earlier Turley headline about the abyss, and realize that everyone on the Left seems rushing into it — destroying “norms” in order to save them. Shameful. — Ed]
