[edit]- Nil sine numine (Nothing without providence)
- State motto
- President Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President under Section Three; because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Secretary to list him as a candidate on the presidential primary ballot.
We do not reach these conclusions lightly. We are mindful of the magnitude and weight of the questions now before us. We are likewise mindful of our solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor, and without being swayed by public reaction to the decisions that the law mandates we reach.
We are also cognizant that we travel in uncharted territory, and that this case presents several issues of first impression. But for our resolution of the Electors’ challenge under the Election Code, the Secretary would be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot.
Therefore, to maintain the status quo pending any review by the U.S. Supreme Court, we stay our ruling until January 4, 2024 (the day before the Secretary’s deadline to certify the content of the presidential primary ballot). If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court.
- The [Darren Patterson Christian] Academy [had] voluntarily disclosed all [their] provisions to the State of Colorado, seeking an exemption from the non-discrimination clause that would still allow it to be included in the Colorado Universal Preschool Program. The state answered negatively. Supported by a coalition of Christian educational institutions, the Academy sued the state claiming that the non-discrimination clause violates freedom of religion and confronts conservative Christian preschools with the unsolvable dilemma of either betraying their religious principles or being excluded from the list of approved providers.

- I rise today to commemorate one of the most fateful days in the history of the State of Colorado, the day the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant outside of Boulder nearly became America's own Chernobyl, some 30 years before that terrible accident in the Ukraine.
- Jared Polis, "Commemorating the Rocky Flats 1969 Fire", Congressional Record, May 12, 2009.
- The Colorado Supreme Court decision would unconstitutionally disenfranchise millions of voters in Colorado and likely be used as a template to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters nationwide
- Trump’s lawyers according to Supreme Court to rule if Trump can run for president (January 5, 2024)
