Funny how no one claims states rights here.

That only seems to be a Republican talking point.

Because it is not a state's right to interpret the Constitution as they see fit.

Colorado isn't interpreting it, merely following it. He's been found guilty in a Colorado Court for a crime that disqualifies him to appear on the ballot of that state.

To argue otherwise is to argue that states can't remove teenagers from the ballot even though they're too young to hold office.
