Here's the judge is reasoning:
Absolutely WTF
Wallace said she was keeping the former president on the ballot because the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban” does not apply to presidents, though she found that “Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 through incitement, and that the First Amendment does not protect Trump’s speech.
.....
The 14th Amendment, ratified after the Civil War, says American officials who take an oath to support the Constitution are banned from future office if they “engaged in insurrection.” But the Constitution doesn’t say how to enforce the ban, and it has only been applied twice since 1919 – which is why many experts view these lawsuits as long shots.
The provision explicitly bans insurrectionists from serving as US senators, representatives, and even presidential electors – but it does not say presidents. It says it covers “any office, civil or military, under the United States,” and Wallace ruled that this does not include the office of the presidency.
“After considering the arguments on both sides, the Court is persuaded that ‘officers of the United States,’ did not include the President of the United States,” she wrote. “It appears to the Court that for whatever reason the drafters of Section Three did not intend to include a person who had only taken the Presidential Oath.”
Legal scholars believe these cases will, in some form, end up at the US Supreme Court. But before that, the GOP and independent voters who filed the Colorado lawsuit in coordination with a liberal watchdog group, could first file an appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court.

Fixed. All this proves is the constitution doesn't matter for the President of United States.
Then it doesn't matter at all.

we legit got scared judges moving fearfully
Years from now these will be the dumb ass decisions referenced in history when asking how American democracy got kicked out the whip. Such a cowardly ruling it pretty much greenlights Trump or the next better version of him down the line who may get in office one day to be able to attempt to seize power.

Wait until it's too late cac bruhs
It's a cult that's enabled by the corporate media that will take tax cuts with the possibility of a dictatorship. If Trump somehow wins the presidency after being convicted of his crimes and as we know an insurrectionist(judge is an idiot for giving him a pass on office interpretation) this country is done. For good! Also I don't want to hear all the people who worked for Trump when he's doing what they want but speak up when they realized he's going to take power anyway he can. GTFO

If he wins his cabinet will be filled with absolute loyalists this time around. Maga nuts and q anon crazies. It's hard to even visualize what a 2nd trump term will look like. But it will definitely be the end of what we knew as the United States.
Why care? The most vulnerable seemingly don't. Good luck.
