Colorado Republicans appeal to supreme court after Trump disqualified from state ballot

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination, is expected to file his own appeal.
41% : The state high court had put its decision on hold until 4 January, stating that Trump would remain on the ballot if he appealed.
35% : The appeal comes after the Colorado supreme court last week disqualified Trump because of his role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters.
35% : Minnesota's top court rebuffed an effort to disqualify Trump from the Republican primary in that state but did not rule on his overall eligibility to serve as president last month and on Wednesday Michigan's supreme court upheld a lower court order allowing him to remain on the state ballot.
32% : Courts have rejected several lawsuits seeking to keep Trump off the primary ballot in other states.
30% : The court barred Trump under a US constitutional provision prohibiting anyone who "engaged in insurrection or rebellion" from holding public office.
29% : The 4-3 Colorado supreme court ruling reversed a lower court judge's conclusion that Trump engaged in insurrection by inciting his supporters to violence, but as president, he was not an "officer of the United States" who could be disqualified under the Fourteenth Amendment.
5% : The attack was an attempt by Trump's supporters to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democratic president Joe Biden, which Trump falsely claims was the result of fraud.
