Breaking: SCOTUS Overturns CO Ballot Ban 9-0

CNBC reports the US Supreme Court this morning issued a 9-0 opinion that Colorado cannot block Donald Trump from their ballot.

The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously reversed the Colorado court ruling that barred former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot because of a provision in the U.S. Constitution related to people who engage in insurrection.

The Supreme Court’s ruling means that no other state can bar Trump — or any other candidate from now on — from a presidential ballot or election for Congress by invoking the insurrection clause in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

‘Nuff said. They were less unanimous on whether Congress is the only federal actor which may do so. It is still very good news.
