How stunning is this decision?
Well, well, this is a historic decision.
It's a momentous decision. As the Supreme Court itself says,
they are in uncharted territory here.
But it's really important to keep in mind this is
not the last word here.
This is almost certainly going up to the US Supreme
Court,
which can review the decisions of a state Supreme Court.
In fact, the Colorado Supreme Court anticipates that possibility.
And for that reason, they put their own ruling on
hold until January 4th,
anticipating that it will go up to the Supreme Court.
The practical consequence as it stands at this moment,
though, is that Donald Trump will not be on the
Colorado ballot in the race for president in 2024.
The Supreme Court almost certainly will take this up.
It's also important to keep in mind for the broader
context.
There have been dozens of these challenges filed across the
country,
and 18 or so of them have either failed,
been rejected or been withdrawn by the plaintiff.
So this is really an outlier.
The Supreme Court is going to have the final say.
The consequences here are, of course,
enormous.
