There's been a significant decision in Colorado recently surrounding the lawsuit aimed to impede the potential presidential candidacy of Donald Trump next year, utilizing a section of the 14th Amendment.

The judge handling the case, Sarah Wallace of the Colorado District Court, dismissed Trump's argument that the issue of candidacy eligibility solely pertains to the jurisdiction of Congress and not the courts. In her 24-page resolution, Judge Wallace maintained that states can boot a candidate from the ballot per the 14th Amendment without necessitating federal enforcement legislation.

This ruling doesn't just carry implications for the former President but underscores a broader debate within the academic and legal community. At the center stage of this conversation is a particular provision of the 14th Amendment, a relic from the Civil War era.

This statute effectively restricts any U.S. citizen involved in an 'insurrection or rebellion against the United States' from occupying an elected position.

This suit got lodged by the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), an advocacy group aiming to foster accountability and transparency in U.S. politics.
