Anderson v. Griswold - The Colorado case which removes rump from the Colorado Republican primary ballot

Wikipedia: Anderson v. Griswold.

. . . a 2023 Colorado Supreme Court case in which the court rejected the presidential eligibility of Donald Trump, the former president of the United States and a candidate in the 2024 presidential election, on the basis of his involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack. The court held that Trump's actions before and during the attack constituted engaging in insurrection; the Fourteenth Amendment disqualifies presidential candidates who have engaged in insurrection against the United States. The Colorado Supreme Court's ruling in Anderson v. Griswold is the first time that a presidential candidate has been disqualified from office in a state on the basis of the Fourteenth Amendment. It is stayed until January 4, 2024, or until a ruling is made by the Supreme Court of the United States.
