On Tuesday, the Colorado Supreme Court has created a seismic ripple in the American political landscape. The high court ruled in a split decision that former President Donald Trump is not eligible to run for the presidency again, citing guidance from the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause.

This groundbreaking decision has removed the former Commander-in-Chief from the state's presidential primary ballot, generating renewed fervor and setting the stage for an inevitable gridlock in the Supreme Court of the United States.

This precedent-setting decision introduces Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, never before employed to render a presidential hopeful ineligible. 'The majority of the court deems Trump unfit to serve as the nation's President under the parameters of the 14th Amendment's Section 3,' read the 4-3 ruling issued by the court.

The judgment has superseded a previous decree by a district court judge who, while acknowledging Trump's possible incitement of an insurrection in connection with the eventful Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol, determined that this allegedly does not imply his automatic exclusion from the ballot.

The district court judge posited that it was not crystal clear that the clause's purview extended to presidency.

The Colorado court's verdict, however, is on hold till January 4 or until the U.S. Supreme Court can pass a ruling on this case—whichever comes sooner. Colorado's officials insist that this matter needs closure by January 5, 2023, the cut-off for finalizing the presidential primary ballots.
