On Monday, the US Supreme Court delivered a massive victory for the American people as they unanimously ruled against the Colorado court’s decision blocking former President Donald Trump on the Colorado primary ballot for the 2024 presidential race.
In an opinion published by the SCOTUS, states do not have the authority to impose Section 3 of the 14th Amendment on any presidential candidate.
“For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the SCOTUS ruled.
“All nine Members of the Court agree with that result. Our colleagues writing separately further agree with many of the reasons this opinion provides for reaching it.”
The unanimous decision came a day before the Super Tuesday primaries.
The result of the Supreme Court verdict will affect attempts of Illinois, Maine, and other states to ban Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, from the ballot of his alleged election interference attempt in the 2020 election against Joe Biden.
The SCOTUS decision is an embarrassment for the left who spent the past months convincing the American people that Trump should be out of the 2024 ballot.
According to the high court, only the Congress “rather than states” has the power to enforce Section 3 “against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.”
“Nothing in the Constitution requires that we endure such chaos—arriving at any time or different times, up to and perhaps beyond the Inauguration,” the SCOTUS wrote.
The court recorded that Trump faced at least 60 challenges in various states questioning his eligibility to run as president.
“Although federal enforcement of Section 3 is in no way at issue, the majority announces novel rules for how that enforcement must operate,” they wrote. “It reaches out to decide Section 3 questions not before us, and to foreclose future efforts to disqualify a Presidential candidate under that provision.”
Separately, Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote that a “politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election” should “turn the national temperature down, not up.”
“For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case,” Barrett wrote.
“That is the message Americans should take home.”
Meanwhile, Trump acknowledged the court ruling on his Truth Social and said “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA!!!”
Rep. Cory Mills of Florida remarked, “This is a massive victory for the American people and our republic’s democratic process to ensure the protection of our voting rights to make our voices heard to get President Trump back into the White House.”
“U.S. Supreme Court Overrules Colorado Ballot Ban, Donald Trump MUST Be On The Ballot!” announced Nicholas Pagnotta.
