My friend,

The Colorado Supreme Court recently ruled that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection and is disqualified under the Constitution from the Colorado ballot. The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution says that anyone who swore an oath to the Constitution and then engages in “insurrection or rebellion” or gives “aid or comfort to the enemies” of the Constitution is disqualified from office.

Colorado is the first state where a court made this determination. Donald Trump appealed the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court has decided to  hear the case. Oral arguments are next month. 

In his appeal, Trump argues that he did not engage in an insurrection and that the constitutional provision in the 14th Amendment does not apply to him. This is wrong. The presidency should not be a get-out-of-jail free card for insurrection.

You can watch my interview on this topic on Lawrence O’Donnell and Newsnight with Abby Phillips for more information.
