The Supreme Court has indicated it will issue rulings on Monday, one of which could be the highly anticipated decision on whether Colorado can kick former President Donald Trump off the primary ballot.

The court noted on its website on Sunday afternoon that rulings are expected.

Trump is currently set to appear on the state primary ballot on Tuesday after a hold was placed on the Colorado Supreme Court ruling that deemed him ineligible due to his efforts to defy the 2020 election results.

The U.S. Supreme Court held oral arguments on Feb. 8 on whether Trump can be barred from the ballot because of his role leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Section 3 of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment says people are not eligible to serve in government if they “engaged in insurrection.” It appeared from the oral argument that Trump would win the case.

This SCt decision 9 to 0 is good (esp since unanimous) …and the 4 justices of the Colorado Supreme Court who threw Trump off the ballot look ridiculous ..this was a “constitutional ‘no brainer’” - what law schools did they go to? SHAME ON THEM - they did not get one vote from the SCT

In Major Blow To Democracy, Supreme Court Rules Voters Can Vote For Favorite Candidate

Maj. Bill Martin · « **Reply #39 on:** March 04, 2024, 03:27:38 pm »

There was some difference in the reasoning - 5 (including Roberts) said that Congress and only Congress could enforce this part of the 14th. The three progressives agreed with the result but didn't think Congress alone had the authority. They didn't say it, but it seems they were reserving the chance that a federal court could exclude. Barrett said the majority didn't have to go that far to resolve things for this election and so should have given. A more limited opinion to avoid concurrences.

But, 9-0, and broadly enough that no state effort to exclude Trump survives.

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit. 9-0 is outstanding.

I have (very) slightly more faith in the Supreme Court. I expected 8-1.

The more I see of Barrett the less I think of her.

The Democrat controlled news outlets are all going to say that SCOTUS has gone MAGA. They are nothing but a bunch of Trump fanatics and MAGA cultists!

AOC is right! We should disband SCOTUS!

Next time someones wants to disqualify an alleged insurrectionist from holding the Office of President, again, they need to:

1.) Impeach and convict.

-or -

2.) Indict and convict for insurrection.

We are supposed to be a "nation of laws", not a nation of sore losers taking their ball and going home.

And to think this could've been avoided with a different approach.

Using a 14th Amendment clause designed for Civil War combatants? Not constitutional at the state level.

Saying "you don't have a right to ballot access, and we just don't want you in the ballot?" Perfectly legal, yet nobody wants to do that.

Biden's little 20-something "influencer" muppet doesn't seem to grasp what 9-0 means:

Insurrection sympathizer Clarence Thomas ruled that insurrectionist Donald Trump can remain on the ballot in 2024. That should be the headline.
11:09 AM · Mar 4, 2024

I guess that means Kagan, Sotomayor, et al., also are insurrection sympathizers.

It's 9-0 that Colorado can't disqualify Trump.
But only five justices hold that the *only* way to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders/officeseekers is through a statute enacted by Congress. The other four wouldn't (and don't) reach that question.
So 5-4 on breadth.

@steve_vladeck
The Barrett concurrence and the joint Sotomayor/Kagan/Jackson concurrence all insist that they would've stopped with barring a state from disqualifying a presidential candidate.
That's why it's a 5-4 ruling with respect to the scope of the holding.
