Dissents in Colorado Supreme Court decision to remove Trump from ballot show there is no strong counter-argument to enforcing 14th Amendment.
— George Conway III.
‘The Colorado Supreme Court Decision Is True Originalism’
“Perhaps what is most striking about Colorado’s decision was the conservative reasoning the justices employed to reach their conclusion. The four justices who voted in the majority adhered to three stalwart principles of judicial conservatism:
textualism (by which judges endeavor to strictly apply the plain text of the Constitution),
originalism (by which they refer to historical sources for a contemporaneous understanding of that text), and
federalism (by which judges take pains to respect the dual sovereignty of the states alongside the federal government as well as the state courts’ concomitant prerogative to construe their own laws).”

Conservative attorney George Conway on Wednesday suggested former President Trump won’t be successful if he appeals the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying him from appearing on the state’s ballot.
“He lost, it’s over,” Conway, a prominent Trump critic, said during a panel on CNN, adding later, “He’s done in Colorado courts. He’s got no further avenue to review for those state law issues that the dissents raised.”
Conway said he previously believed the 14th Amendment argument at the center of the case was “too good to be true,” but after reading the dissenting opinions on the Colorado Supreme Court ruling, he found the dissenting justices “had nothing.”
