Donald Trump appealed to the Supreme Court after the Colorado state court excluded him from the local Republican primaries. The decision was made under the 14th Amendment, which prohibits officials involved in insurrections or riots against the constitution under which they were sworn in from holding public office. Yesterday, the former president of the United States decided to appeal a similar decision in Maine, made by the Secretary of State of the Pine Tree State.
The former president’s lawyers, according to the “Washington Post”, in a document filed in the last few hours, urged the judges to quickly overturn the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision and “restore to voters the right to vote for the candidate of their choice .” Judges, they said, should not be allowed to prevent voters from voting for the leading Republican presidential candidate. In this case, the Court must express its opinion on the legitimacy of the mechanism with which the Colorado Supreme Court declared Trump ineligible.
