 Trump's lawyers warned of nationwide chaos in U.S. Donald Trump's lawyers have warned that the entire U.S. would be plunged into chaos if the country's Supreme Court upholds the state of Colorado's decision to remove the Republican presidential front-runner from its ballot. Last month, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Trump ineligible to run for re-election and removed him from the ballot for the presidential primary on March 5. The court cited the 14th Amendment, which bans insurrectionists from holding public office. Trump's lawyers argued again that the former president had not instigated the riot on January 6, 2021. The Colorado ruling, which was the first of its kind, has been left in limbo pending a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court with the first oral arguments in the case set for February 8. The court should put a swift and decisive end to these ballot disqualification efforts, which threatened to disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans. Trump's lawyers wrote, They added that if other states follow Colorado's lead, it would unleash chaos and bedlam. The former president's legal team also noted that the piece of legislation invoked by the Colorado Supreme Court can only be applied to an officer of the United States, which Trump is not. The attorneys insisted that the Republican firebrand was not inciting insurrection when he called on his supporters to fight like hell on January 6 and was merely raising concerns about the integrity of the recent federal election.
