Colorado's top court delivered a bombshell Tuesday, declaring former President Donald Trump ineligible for the White House due to his role in the January 6th Capitol attack. This historic ruling, based on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause, throws Trump's 2024 campaign into chaos and sets the stage for a Supreme Court showdown.

The 4-3 decision marks the first time Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has been used to disqualify a presidential candidate. While a lower court found Trump incited the insurrection but left him on the ballot, the state Supreme Court disagreed. They argued that barring lower-level oathbreakers while allowing the President to run would be "inconsistent" with the Constitution's intent.

Trump's legal team immediately vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court, and his campaign called the ruling "tyrannical." Republicans see this as a dangerous precedent, fearing other states may follow suit and exclude Trump from key races.

The Colorado case, brought by six voters, could embolden similar efforts nationwide. Dozens of lawsuits seeking Trump's disqualification under Section 3 are pending. With potential legal hurdles across the country, Trump's path to the 2024 nomination just got significantly steeper.

The Supreme Court, with its conservative majority, will now have the final say on Trump's eligibility. This legal battle promises to be epic, with major implications for both the 2024 election and the future interpretation of the Constitution.
