Donald Trump is back on the ballot in the state of Colorado, per the Secretary of State, after the state Republican Party appealed the activist decision by the state’s high court to the Supreme Court.

Here’s the news from Daily Mail:

Donald Trump is back on the presidential ballot in Colorado after an appeal put a stay on the ruling that removed him under an ‘insurrection’ clause of the U.S. Constitution.

The Colorado Republican Party filed on Wednesday asking the U.S. Supreme Court to look at the lower court’s ruling that disqualified Trump from running on the presidential ballot in the state due to his role in the January 6 Capitol riot.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswol announced that Trump will for the time being remain on the ballot, which goes to print on January 5 – unless the Supreme Court affirms the lower court’s ruling or otherwise declines to take on the appeal.

The 4-3 ruling earlier this month said Trump would not appear on the state’s primary ballot, according to a 155-year-old 14th Amendment clause that bans those from office who ‘engaged in insurrection.’

The Colorado Supreme Court put a stay – or pause – on its ruling until January 4 to allow time for the appeal process.

The first impact of the appeal is to extend the stay of the 4-3 ruling from Colorado’s highest court. This puts the decision on pause until January 4 – the day before the state’s primary ballots are due at the printer – or until an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is finished, whichever comes first.

In other words it sounds like this decision is in the Supreme Court’s hands, as well it should be. I can’t imagine they will side with the activist Colorado Supreme Court on this issue, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
