US Supreme Court rules Colorado cannot ban Trump from presidential ballot - MyJoyOnline

The US Supreme Court has struck down efforts by individual states to disqualify Donald Trump from running for president using an anti-insurrection constitutional clause.

Colorado had barred Mr Trump from its Republican primary, arguing he incited the 2021 Capitol riot.

The court ruled that only Congress, rather than the states, has that power.

Speaking from his estate in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, soon afterwards, he said that the decision was "very well crafted" and will "go a long way towards bringing our country together, which it needs".

But the court's three liberal justices argued that the ruling seeks to "decide novel constitutional questions to insulate this Court and [Trump] from future controversy" by announcing "that a disqualification for insurrection can occur only when Congress enacts a particular kind of legislation".
