The U.S. Supreme Court Seems Likely to Reject Colorado’s Decision to Remove Trump from the 2024 Ballot!
CNS News–The US Supreme Court grappled with the question of state authority to disqualify candidates from federal office in a landmark case surrounding former President Donald Trump’s eligibility for the 2024 presidential ballot. The case, Trump v Anderson, arose after Colorado’s Supreme Court disqualified Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, citing his alleged involvement in the events of January 6th, 2021.
Last year, Colorado’s highest court ruled that Trump’s actions surrounding the Capitol insurrection rendered him ineligible for the presidency under the constitutional provision, which bars individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding federal office. However, during the two-hour hearing at the nation’s highest court, justices expressed skepticism about states’ abilities to unilaterally disqualify federal candidates without congressional approval.
Chief Justice John Roberts and other justices questioned whether granting states such authority would conflict with the Constitution, warning of potential partisan abuse and the destabilization of the electoral process. Despite arguments from Trump’s legal team that only Congress has the authority to remove candidates for federal office, the justices appeared divided on the issue.
