There are two key questions: Will the U.S. Supreme Court take the case and will other states follow Colorado’s lead?

“I think Trump’s campaign has already said we’re taking this to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has discretion, they obviously don’t take everything. I think absolutely [it will take] this one because it’s such a question of national importance,” Jacksonville defense attorney Belkis Plata said.

There are a few issues the nation’s high court would review. First, whether the president is a government officer. The 14th Amendment doesn’t name the president as someone who can be specifically disqualified for insurrection. Plata also said this deals with the issue of the federal government weighing in on how states run elections.

“The federal constitution gives the states power to control time, manner and place of their own election. And Colorado has interpreted their own law that we can make the decision for our own state,” Plata said.
