The watchdog group CREW reports:
The six Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters who challenged Donald Trump’s eligibility to be on the ballot following his actions on January 6th last night filed an appeal with the Colorado Supreme Court challenging the judge’s rulings that the president is not an “officer of the United States” and that the president’s oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution” is not an oath to “support” the Constitution as required by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
Not only did the district court rule in favor of the petitioners on every factual issue necessary to disqualify Trump from the ballot–including the historic ruling that he engaged in insurrection against the Constitution as president, it also found for the petitioners on every legal issue necessary to remove Trump save for the one.
The six voters are represented by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington and the firms Tierney Lawrence Stiles LLC, KBN Law, LLC and Olson Grimsley Kawanabe Hinchcliff & Murray LLC.

The Colorado judge is the first to rule that Trump incited an insurrection. She is not the first to lay blame at his feet for Jan. 6. https://t.co/6lP09wv8Q2

The judge in our 14th Amendment lawsuit found that Donald. Trump incited insurrection. This is the first time a presidential candidate has been found to have engaged in insurrection.
That’s huge.https://t.co/TNPv58it7i
