Colorado Ballot Case, Section 3, Insurrection Claims
The legal battle to remove Donald Trump from the Colorado ballot hinges on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and claims of insurrection. A trial court's finding that Trump is an insurrectionist was based partly on expert testimony from a sociology professor regarding "coded language" and "doublespeak." Trump's legal team argues that only Congress has the power to enforce Section 3 and that the provision does not bar candidates from running for office.
