Supreme Court agrees to weigh whether Trump can be kicked off ballot in Colorado

“We’re glad that the Supreme Court will definitively decide whether Donald Trump can be on the ballot. If the Supreme Court rules for Trump, then he would stay on the ballot. But should the court uphold the Colorado ruling, then other states could be encouraged to follow suit. After the U.S. Supreme Court issued its order Friday, Trump praised the three justices he nominated to the Supreme Court: Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. The Colorado Supreme Court based its ruling on language in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment that prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from running for various federal offices.
