The United States Supreme Court has ruled in favor of former President Donald Trump, noting that Colorado was in the wrong when it removed the former president from its ballot.
The decision came after an expedited process and on the eve of Super Tuesday, when primary voters in dozens of states, including Colorado, will cast their ballots.
The state had said that Trump was ineligible to be on the ballot due to his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, violating the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.
However, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trump’s argument that the “Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.”
There was no split decision from the justices, as the ruling was made unanimously, with conservative and liberal justices ruling in favor of Trump.
However, while the three liberal justices agreed with the ruling, they did have certain qualms with how the decision was written.
