SCOTUS rules Trump can be on the presidential ballot

The US Supreme Court overturned on Monday a Colorado court’s decision that previously barred former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot. The unanimous ruling noted that “the states have no power under the Constitution to” enforce a clause that disqualifies people from federal office if they participate in the insurrection, “especially the presidency.” The ruling is based on a challenge to a provision of the US Constitution concerning individuals who have engaged in insurrection. The controversy stems from Trump’s involvement in the events leading up to and on January 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the US Capitol. Moreover, the new decision means that votes for Trump in Colorado’s primary will now count, affecting the Republican presidential nomination race. NN: Meet your next president. These stupid legal actions are pissing off the voters. And handing him a win.
