Republicans are asking the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court that removes Donald Trump from the state's presidential ballot.

The Colorado Republican Party appealed the decision in the first step of a likely showdown in the highest court over the meaning of the 155-year-old 14th Amendment clause that bans those from office who 'engaged in insurrection.'

Although Colorado's 10 Electoral College votes are unlikely to go to the Republican candidate anyway, the ruling could set precedent for a slew of other states looking to remove Trump from the ballot.
