“I didn’t realize I would go down in history as Anderson versus Trump,” she told CNN in an interview.
The case she’s referring to – now Trump v. Anderson – revolves around Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bans insurrectionists from holding public office.

While there, from 1997 to 1998, she was the majority leader of the lower chamber.
A lifelong Republican, Anderson left the Colorado legislature in 2006, as the state’s politics started shifting.
