After Court Rules:1That Trump Cannot Run Office in Colorado Now
After a court rules that Trump cannot run for office in Colorado, Congress erupts.
Members of Congress from both parties reacted angrily to the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday to remove former President Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot.
Why it matters: The case may rekindle a fierce national discussion about the circumstances surrounding the Jan. 6 riot and the extent to which the former president ought to be held responsible for the bloodshed.
Creating headlines: Four of the court’s seven justices decided that Trump is entitled to the 14th Amendment’s ban on persons who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office. This is the first time that a state has made this decision.

Most likely, the case will be heard by the US Supreme Court, with the Colorado judges’ order to stay the case until January 4 so that the federal judiciary could make a decision, and the Trump campaign’s declaration to file an appeal.
Numerous other states have courts handling cases similar to this one.
“There is no way this holds,” a House Republican told Axios. This is what they are saying. “There is no way the 14th Amendment was intended to be applied in this way.”
The ruling is “nothing but a thinly veiled partisan attack,” according to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who also expressed confidence that the Supreme Court “will set aside this reckless decision.”

Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., the chair of the House Republican Conference, denounced the Colorado Supreme Court majority in a statement, calling them “four partisan Democrat operatives” and forecasting that the decision “will backfire” and bolster President Trump’s victorious campaign even more.”
Close up: Legislation targeting states that make such decisions was introduced on Tuesday by Senate GOP leadership member Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.).
The three-page bill would rewrite the Help America Vote Act to prohibit states from receiving federal funds for election administration if they are found to be “misusing the Fourteenth Amendment for political purposes.”

Additionally, it would make it clear that the Supreme Court has “sole jurisdiction” over cases pertaining to the 14th Amendment.
On the other hand, a number of Democrats who have led the opposition to Trump’s eligibility to run for office in 2024 celebrated the decision.
Jamie Raskin, a Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee and a manager of Trump’s impeachment during his Senate trial that began on January 6, stated that the decision is “solidly rooted in law and in fact.”
“If the [Supreme] Court takes remotely seriously its profession of faith in original intent and textualism, then it will have to affirm” the decision, he stated.

“The original meaning … is precisely to forbid people who have betrayed their oath by trying to overthrow the constitutional order.”
Another impeachment manager, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), stated, “It was very clear to me that the evidence showed Trump called for and incited the mob on January 6.”
What’s being observed: Raskin acknowledged the possibility of political violence in response to the ruling, even as he praised it.
“This is the issue,” he declared. “There is always the worry that pursuing violent gangs or organized crime could result in more violence,” says the prosecutor and police violence.”
“It’s something America needs to be prepared to stop.”
In a Jan. 6 case, Rep. Scott Perry ordered that phone data be turned over to the DOJ.
A judge decided on Tuesday that Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) is required to give the Department of Justice access to nearly 1,700 records that were found on his phone as part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president Trump’s 2020 election meddling case.
Why this matters The federal judge’s decision in D.C. is the most recent development in Perry’s protracted legal battle with the DOJ. Perry is the chair of the House Freedom Caucus and assisted Trump in pushing his fictitious allegations of voter fraud prior to the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6.

Five years of facial recognition ban for Rite Aid AI-powered facial recognition technology will not be used by Rite Aid.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced on Tuesday that a proposed settlement of charges would grant five years of recognition technology.
Why this matters The FTC claimed in a complaint filed on Tuesday that Rite Aid’s “reckless” use of facial recognition technology “disproportionately impacted people of color” and that the pharmacy retail chain failed to put reasonable procedures in place in hundreds of stores to prevent harm to consumers.
