Trump's Eligibility for 2024 Ballot: The Colorado Supreme Court Decision and Potential Reversal

In our latest episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson breaks down the recent decision by the Colorado Supreme Court regarding the eligibility of former President Donald Trump to appear on the state's 2024 primary election ballot. She delves into the reasons behind her belief that the verdict might be overturned and discusses why she thinks the case will ultimately end up at the US Supreme Court.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:1️⃣ Colorado Supreme Court's Decision: The court relied on section 3 of the 14th Amendment to conclude that Donald Trump is constitutionally barred from appearing on the state's 2024 primary election ballot.2️⃣ Implications for the US Supreme Court: This case is likely to head to the US Supreme Court for resolution, and the decision could have significant political implications.3️⃣ Potential Outcome: While the host believes that the US Supreme Court will overturn the Colorado decision, the case presents complex legal and political considerations that will require careful navigation.Follow Our Host:On Threads: @LevinsonJessica
