Abstract

The article discusses the recent decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's Republican primary ballot. The decision was based on the 14th Amendment's Section 3, which prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States from holding office. However, the article argues that the decision is legally baseless and will only strengthen Trump's campaign. Similar efforts to remove Trump from the ballot are underway in other states, but some lawsuits have already been dismissed or withdrawn. The article questions whether it is appropriate to keep candidates off the ballot, likening it to the practices of banana republics. [Extracted from the article]
