Donald Trump is back on the Colorado candidate ballot because the Court of Appeals has suspended it under the U.S. Constitution"Rebellion"article to remove the award.
Republicans in Colorado filed a petition Wednesday asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a lower court's ruling that disqualified Trump from running in the state's ** election because of his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Subsequently, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold announced that Trump would (for the time being) remain on the January 5 ballot unless the Supreme Court upholds the lower court's decision or refuses to entertain the appeal.
Colorado's earlier 4:3 ruling said it was banned under the 155-year-old 14th Amendment"Participation in the rebellion"Trump will not appear on the state's primary ballot for the terms of holding public office.

Judging from history and the current situation, Colorado's 10 Electoral College votes are unlikely to vote for Republican candidates, which means that the removal of Trump's name will have little impact on Trump's campaign, but it will have a far-reaching impact, and it will become the last bomb in the United States in 2023 for a while.
Other states appear willing to follow suit.
However, the Michigan Supreme Court has already ruled after Colorado to keep the former ** on the ballot in the state's primary, a Midwestern swing state that is more important for who will be in the White House in 2024.
Griswold said in a press release:"Donald Trump was involved in the insurrection, and he was disqualified from the Colorado ballot under the Constitution. The Colorado Supreme Court's decision was correct. She continued:'This sentence is currently under appeal. In light of the imminent primaries, I urge the U.S. Supreme Court to act as soon as possible.
The Colorado Supreme Court has until Jan. 4 to suspend execution of the judgment to allow time for the appeals process.
Former Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow's conservative American Center for Law & Justice filed a petition Wednesday to overturn Colorado's controversial decision.
We've been saying since the day we took over this case that this case will eventually go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The father and son duo, representing the Colorado Republican Party, wrote:"Today, we just filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court's dangerous misrepresentation of the 14th Amendment and barred Trump from voting.
This is the most important case we have ever taken on"They added. Because if we lose the right to vote, we lose the constitutional republic.
We anticipate that progress on this case will be very rapid, and we will keep you updated on the developments.
The first effect under this appeal is to extend the stay period of the Colorado Supreme Court's 4-3 decision. This puts the ruling on hold until Jan. 4, the day before the state's primary ballots reach the printing press, or until the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court closes, whichever comes first.
Trump also said he still plans to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court never ruled on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which was added after the Civil War to prevent former Confederate members from returning.
The terms provide for any oath"Yes"Constitution, but subsequently"Participation in the rebellion"None of those who oppose the constitution can hold ** positions, but the article specifically mentions several positions, but does not directly name ** positions.
Colorado Republican Chairman Dave Williams confirmed the appeal filed Wednesday.
The lawyers added:'Unless the Colorado Supreme Court's decision is overturned, any voter will have the right to sue for disqualification of any political candidate, whether in Colorado or in any other jurisdiction that follows its lead.
Because this would not only distort the 2024 ** election, but would also plunge the court into a political controversy over vague allegations of rebellion.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to begin the case after the Republican appeal in Colorado or Trump himself.
If Trump doesn't get the Colorado vote in the end, it will have little impact on his campaign because he doesn't need Colorado to win the Electoral College. But it could open the door for the court or the election** to remove him from the ballot in other must-win states. For the Democrats, it is the same as a precedentWhether the state and local courts can decide who is the candidate is is obviously a bad start.
Currently, Sean Grimsley, a plaintiff lawyer in Colorado seeking to disqualify Trump, said on a legal podcast last week that he wants the U.S. Supreme Court to deal with the case as soon as it takes up the case, and he expects the court to do so.
Grimsley said"We're obviously going to ask for an extremely fast schedule, because for all the reasons I've already said, we have a primary coming up on Super Tuesday and we need to know the answers.
