SCOTUS urged by Republicans to prop up Trump's 2024 campaign or risk 'electoral chaos'

"Electoral chaos" will erupt if the Supreme Court does not allow former President Donald Trump to appear on Colorado's state ballot, Republican challengers reportedly argued this week.

Attorney Jay Sekulow — representing the Colorado Republican State Central Committee — filed a brief with the Supreme Court demanding the justices block attempts to bump Trump from state ballots under the 14th Amendment's insurrectionist ban, the Messenger reported Thursday.

The 19-page brief, which comes as Trump battles bans in both Colorado and Maine, calls such state-level autonomy "a recipe for electoral chaos perfectly illustrated by this case and by Maine’s recent decision to disqualify President Trump."

Sekulow argues the 14th Amendment was intended to limit state, not executive, power, rendering the Colorado Supreme Court ruling an "upside down" interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, according to the report.

Trump's eligibility was challenged in Colorado by a small group of Republican voters and the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.

They argue Trump engaged in insurrection in the days leading up to, and on, Jan. 6 2021, when mobs of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol.

The Supreme Court is widely expected to take up and review the disqualification decisions.

The justices could also rule on Trump's claim of presidential immunity in Special Counsel Jack Smith's election trial, although for now they have declined a request by Smith to leapfrog over review by the appellate court. Trump has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges.
