The Colorado Supreme Court will be hearing appeals in the effort to keep former President Donald Trump off the state ballot.
Last week, state Judge Sarah B. Wallace ruled that Trump had engaged in insurrection on Jan. 6, but she allowed him to remain on the ballot through a technicality. The ruling was objected to by both sides, with Trump taking issue with the ruling that he had engaged in insurrection and plaintiffs taking issue with him remaining on the ballot. The Colorado Supreme Court will hear the appeals of both.

“We look forward to presenting arguments on the one legal question at issue — that an insurrectionist former president can and must be disqualified under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” Sean Grimsley, the attorney leading the group that filed the challenge, said in a statement obtained by NBC News.
The oral arguments in front of the court are slated for Dec. 6.
The development was expected. Attorney Andrew Lieb of Lieb at Law predicted earlier on Tuesday that the matter would proceed to the Colorado Supreme Court.

“There have been findings that Trump caused an insurrection, and this issue isn’t going away,” he said.
Similar efforts to remove Trump from the ballot have been rejected in Michigan and Minnesota.
