Colorado is NOT "deciding the election for the nation"

2. In the context of the discussion, it's probably true.

The context being today's hearing and the 14th Amendment. I think the Colorado case probably effectively ended the 14th discussion at the state level, so from that perspective, the assessment is correct, but only on the issue of 14th Amendment eligibility for individual states.

I don't think they meant it in a general sense, as in Colorado decided all factors of the election. I think they just meant it in the context of the conversation they were having, which was in regards to today's hearing.

It remains to be seen if the case can be approached at the federal level, i.e. a lawsuit challenging Trump's eligibility nationally as a Constitutional issue.
