DENVER (AP) — Both a liberal group that sought to disqualify Donald Trump and the former president himself on Monday night appealed a judge's ruling that Trump “engaged in insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021 but can stay on the state's primary ballot.
Trump, meanwhile, appealed Wallace's finding that he did engage in insurrection and questioned whether a state court judge like her, rather than Congress, should settle the issue.
The case will be heard by the seven justices on the state court, all of whom were appointed by Democrats.

The next step after Colorado's high court would be the U.S. Supreme Court, which has never ruled on Section 3.
