In a unanimous ruling, the US Supreme Court has rejected the ban of former President Donald Trump on the ballot in Colorado.
The ruling, announced one day before Super Tuesday, was unanimous, could impact the several other liberal states that are attempting to have Trump thrown off the ballot over the events of January 6th, 2021.
The court considered for the first time the meaning and reach of Article 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars former officeholders who "engaged in insurrection" from holding public office again. Challenges have been filed to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot in over 30 states.
"We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency," the Court wrote.
