There's only one right way to go. Colorado was wrong to remove Trump from the ballot and needs it shoved back in their collective faces.

Perhaps the best outcome for President Trump is a Supreme Court ruling that he isn’t an “officer of the United States.” This would presumably prevent state courts from applying Section 3 to him at all, cordoning off a whole subset of litigation that could disrupt his campaign.
Heritage Foundation Vice President of the Institute for Constitutional Government John Malcolm told The Epoch Times that along with deciding that Section 3 isn’t “self-executing” (enforceable by courts without prior congressional action), the officer argument is one of the “neatest and cleanest arguments” the court could use in deciding the case.
Despite Judge Wallace’s lengthy consideration of whether President Trump incited insurrection, she ended her opinion by concluding that Section 3 doesn’t apply to presidents.
