 We’re still waiting for a decision from the Colorado Supreme Court in our 14th Amendment lawsuit against Donald Trump. We expect a decision in the coming days, and will let you know as soon as we know more. In the meantime, work on enforcing Trump’s disqualification from office has been anything but quiet. Several groups filed amicus briefs in our lawsuit—illustrating the broad coalition that’s come together around this issue and the need to protect our democracy. Here are a few highlights from our amicus filers, who have helped spread the word in the news: The fact that the disqualification clause is so clearly implicated now is a similarly great discredit to former President Trump, himself, who allowed his pursuit of power to supersede his Oath of Office and two centuries of precedent.” — Aly Belknap of Common Cause in a Colorado Newsline op-ed “Some worry that a ruling removing Trump from ballots might stoke violent reactions from Trump supporters. The threat of political violence is real, and a violent MAGA faction has shown its potential for violence numerous times (including on Jan. 6), but that is reason for courts to enforce the Disqualification Clause, not to ignore it.” — Praveen Fernandes of the Constitutional Accountability Center in a Newsweek op-ed We’ve got the facts on our side, the law on our side and the understanding that our work on this issue is absolutely critical to protecting our democracy and preventing another event like January 6th.
