In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump is barred from Colorado's 2024 ballot, the state Supreme Court rules [View all]

(2,983 posts)122. The way I read the announcement is that the decision is stayed until January 4th.
If Trump appeals this decision to the US Supreme Court the stay remains in effect and Trump will be on the ballot until the USSC makes a decision. Please read page 9 - maybe I am wrong, but that is what I read.

A remarkably detailed and well reasoned decision. A tad tedious but well reasoned.

But what happens if other states join in? They are going to block all of them?

Yeah, but the 14th doesn't require conviction; it just says "engaged in insurrection or rebellion"

In George Washington's day, Trump would already have been taken out and executed.

His name won't appear on the ballot, but it can still be written in. {edited}

Write-in votes for him won't be counted - stated explicitly in the opinion

It's not necessary to be on the ballot for a state's primary to be on that state's general election ballot.

my bet is that SCOTUS will allow him on the ballot with a concurring majority of all kinds of opinions

Without requiring a conviction by a jury, a judge's opinion can be based on anything.

Reality, due process and precedent say that a conviction *is* required.
