Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejects Colorado ruling
The U-S Supreme Court has handed Donald Trump a major legal victory as he runs for re-election. In a unanimous ruling, the high court said Trump could not be removed from the ballot in Colorado. The justices ruled that states, without action first from Congress, cannot use the Constitution’s insurrection clause to keep presidential candidates from appearing on ballots. As a result, the court’s move ends efforts in Colorado, Illinois, Maine and elsewhere to disqualify Trump and kick him off the ballot. On social media, the former president issued a four-word statement: “Big win for America.”
