The Colorado Supreme Court's decision to bar Donald Trump from the state's ballot has sparked widespread reactions. California Governor Gavin Newsom defended Trump's right to be on the ballot in California, while Jonathan Turley and three Republican lawmakers criticized the decision. Efforts to remove Trump from other states' ballots have also emerged. Former federal judge Michael Luttig and Senator Lindsey Graham expressed concerns about the ruling's legality. The decision has led to a debate on the Constitution and the 14th Amendment, with various opinions on its implications and potential impact on the 2024 election.
