The Fourteenth Amendment does, and by a plain reading of the text it should disqualify Trump from being on any ballot. But clearly this judge took the coward’s way out and instead made a judgment on fact without touching how that fact should affect Colorado ballots. The Amendment doesn’t make any provision for the popularity of a candidate with regard to eligibility.
I think they might be crazy like a fox. She just kicked it to another court. Let the appellate court (with the bigger security budget), defend that decision and leave her and her family alone.
I will believe it when I see it

The presidential ballot is state-by-state. Who appears is not, to date, determined at the federal level. An act of Congress could change that, but for now it has to go through the states.
