People need to read the small print, this is just a first step and will be appealed so whilst itās unprecedented weāre still a long way from seeing Trump stopped from standing.
I heard it this morning on the Today programme and a US commentator with a glum voice said it was the worst thing that could happen because it strengthens Trumpās victimisation claims and if an election was held today he would be the new President, replacing Biden.
A brief silence and then the solemn voice of Nick Robinson intoning āWell, thatās cheered up an entire nation thenā. 
Priceless.
It is totally shocking that Trumpās supporters cannot see through his lies, deceit and self serving.
Have you ever considered that they have and that they donāt care?
I recall conversations with Americans at the time Trump was voted in as POTUS last that they wanted him to completely break the system so badly that it had to be re-made. The ālittleā people felt betrayed by the Hillarys and others with āeliteā backgrounds and they wanted a system that represented ordinary working class Americans.
Sadly I think theyāre far more likely to get ripped off even worse, and far from being renewed the system will be broken against them, but when you only see things as simple black & white, that is often hidden.
And how does Trump represent that angle, privileged entitled son of a billionaire who went to elite bought for schools and university, all the things they are meant to despise.
At least Hilary was competent, and had been in the White House before so knew a lot of hidden stuff
The US Supreme Court, which is not looked upon very favourably at the moment in the polls, will have a difficult decision to make following on from Roe and Wade. Being asked to decide on the Colorado Supreme Courtās decision not to allow Trumpās candidacy may make them even more unpopular, which might tempt it to ignore Trumpās appeal, hopefully, and throw it back to Colorado.
Iāve read somewhere that Chief Justice John Roberts is getting worried about his courtās popularity.
They were relying on him to basically break the united states political system - arguably he has tried, but couldnāt do that effectively either. I didnāt say the position taken was logical, but the question was asked about why people would overlook his character and behaviour.
Thereās a mentality, recognisable also in Leave voters that runs āmy life is shit, if I can make yours shit as well, Iāve wonā.
I suspect Trump supporters have it in spades.
Itās about the 4th step
The 14th amendment claims have been thrown out by lower courts in Minnesota and Michigan as well as previously in Colorado.
Minnesota and Michigan I believe are being appealed in their stateās respective supreme courts.
Ultimately it will need to go to SCOTUS - whether they will prevail there is difficult to guess but it is worth noting that the Republican/Democrat split in SCOTUS is 3-6 in favour of Republicans.
Agree.
She was very good at making sexual assault charges against Bill go away.
āWeāve got matches, gasoline and just want to watch the whole corrupt mess burn down at this point.ā
Which is understandable.
Except the corruption of, say, the Obama presidency was more in the GoP/Trumpās head than in reality and the fiscal irresponsibility of the Labour party claimed in 2010 was similarly more fabricated than real.
However in Trump we got a corrupt (and corrupting) POTUS and in the Tories we got an irresponsible, incompetant and also manifestly corrupt government.
Turkerys and Christmas come to mind in both cases.
As I understand it, the Colorado judgement is notable mainly as setting a precedent which other jurisdictions might follow - even if this judgement stands and Trump is actually barred from being a candidate it only applies in Colorado, not the rest of the USA.
And Colorado votes Democrat by quite a margin anyway, so it wouldnāt make a direct difference to the Presidential election result.
The Republicans are hoping that it will be sent to the Supreme Court where Trumpā nominees make up the majority
To be fair itās the sort of thing youād want debated in the highest court in the land - though I agree youād probably want a more balanced panel.
There is some necessary faffing around in the lower courts, nothing is decided yet as @tim17 says.
The Republicans have been desperately trying to get rid of Trump since he won the nomination last time. The issue they have desperately struggled with ever since is the strength of his support and base, and being self serving scumbags theyād rather ride his coattails. Plus of course thereās the āuseful idiotā aspect of him which they can, and did, use, but frankly I suspect thereās nothing more the party would like than to have him ruled ineligible because it becomes the Supreme Courtās fault, but then allows them to say āHereās our candidate, theyāre not Trump but if you want to get rid of Biden we have to unite behind themā which will hopefully bring the ānever trumpā section back on board, and will get enough of the MAGA crowd on board to deliver victory.
What a pathetic choice America is likely to have.
Two geriatrics: delusional dictator Donald and genocide Joe.
Still, the UK isnāt much better: smarmy snake Sunak or sit on the fence grey man Starmer.
