A Colorado judge ruled Friday that Trump had engaged in insurrection by inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, but the judge tossed the lawsuit by finding the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to the presidency.
Trump in his appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court said he agreed with the latter part of the ruling keeping him on the state’s ballot but is appealing on other issues. …

Father, we ask that you would give wisdom to our judges and leaders in their decisions. I pray that in Trump’s case, they would look at evidence covered up by the Congressional committee looking into January 6th. May truth come out as to Trump’s behavior on January 6. May political injustice not be carried on but may the facts come out and help us to see truth.
If the truth comes out, it may not show Donald Trump is a good light.
