Colorado usurped federal court authority in dumping Donald Trump from the GOP primary ballot, according to a brief filed to the U.S. Supreme Court

The U.S. Constitution and federal law limit states’ authority to disqualify a candidate from the ballot, an amicus brief says.

The D.C. District Court for the District of Columbia has exclusive jurisdiction after the election of the President-Elect, the brief argues.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments Thursday on the Colorado Supreme Court’s suspect ruling.

Trump has appealed the decision of the Colorado Supreme Court to disqualify him from the ballot under the dubious claim that the former president violated the “insurrection clause” of the 14th Amendment.

The filing grew out of little-known Republican presidential candidate Ryan Binkley ’s legal fight for ballot placement in Minnesota .

The Minnesota Supreme Court upheld the decision, but as of Tuesday had yet to issue a final ruling.

It answers the question” via the voters, the attorney said. “ The U.S. Supreme Court would be saying something illogical if someone was elected president but could be disqualified because of previous acts of insurrection.’ If Trump wins the election and the Supreme Court ultimately sacks him there will be a reckoning of sorts.”.
