The appeal strikes at three specific issues of the Colorado Supreme Court opinion.
The President is not an "officer of the United States" covered within the disqualification provision of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.
This is the exact provision for which the District Court ruled against the lawsuit to disqualify Mr. Trump from the ballot in Colorado.
Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment is not a self-executing authority.
The Colorado Supreme Court specifically ignored Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment which grants the authority exclusively to the Congress.
The Colorado Supreme Court's decision violates the Colorado Republican Party's First Amendment associational right to choose it own candidates.
This is the fundamental essence of democracy. The right to vote for the candidate of our choice.
