The U.S. Supreme Court did what they rarely do: they made an unanimous decision. In this case it was whether to allow Colorado to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the state ballot.
Rather than doing what so many writers do nowadays and go into detail about the history of elections or whatever the topic is, I will tell you now, that SCOTUS ruled in Trump's favor and ultimately in favor of the country. They sided unanimously with Trump and Colorado cannot kick him off the 2024 presidential primary ballot.
That's what they do in dictatorships, and while Biden's handlers try to rule as dictators with their alleged president barely able to toilet himself successfully, the Supreme Court did the right thing and this case will definitely impact the several other states from removing the likely GOP nominee from their respective ballots in a move that is termed "lawfare."
[H/T Fox News.]
The court considered the meaning and reach of Article 3 of the 14th Amendment for the first time. It bars former officeholders who "engaged in insurrection" from holding public office again. Challenges have been filed to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot in over 30 states even before being found guilty as charged. [It used to be 'innocent until proved guilty in a court of law, but the Left has tried to change that concept.]
"We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency," the Court wrote.
The state of Colorado had argued that because they determined Trump’s behavior related to 2020 election interference – culminating with the Jan. 6 Capitol riots – amounted to an "insurrection," he should be removed from the state’s ballot.

But how did they "determine" it? They used their feelings . . . nothing more than feelings.
However, even the liberal Justices agreed that to allow a state to remove someone who has not been convicted of a crime from their primary ballot, would cause both political parties to perpetuate the harmful, un-American practice.
