The United States, US, Supreme Court has unanimously sided with former President Donal Trump in his challenge to the state of Colorado’s attempt to kick him off the 2024 primary ballot.
All nine justices of the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trump in the judgement delivered on Monday.
The ruling will obviously impact the status of efforts in several other states to remove the likely GOP nominee from their respective ballots.
The court considered for the first time the meaning and reach of Article 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars former office holders who “engaged in insurrection” from holding public office again.
Recall that challenges have been filed to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot in over 30 states.
One of the states, Colorado, had argued that Trump’s behavior leading to the January 6 Capitol riots amounted to an “insurrection,” and as a result, he should be removed from the state’s ballot.
