The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of Donald Trump in a historic case challenging his eligibility to seek the Republican presidential nomination under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment due to his actions around the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The court was unanimous in reversing the unprecedented decision out of Colorado that would kick Trump off the ballot under the provision after a state trial court found he participated in "insurrection" on Jan. 6 through incitement.
“For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States," the Supreme Court opinion read. "The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand. All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”
On holding that only Congress had the power to enforce the provisions under Section 5 of the amendment, it said its decision would apply nationwide.
"Any state enforcement of Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, though, would not derive from Section 5, which confers power only on '[t]he Congress.' As a result, such state enforcement might be argued to sweep more broadly than congressional enforcement could under our precedents. But the notion that the Constitution grants the States freer rein than Congress to decide how Section should be enforced with respect to federal offices is simply implausible," the court said.
Trump quickly celebrated the decision, writing on his social media platform it was a "BIG WIN" for the country.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said that she was "disappointed" in the ruling.

I agree with you. In my opinion, 9-0 just seems too good to be true. I know this case was a slam dunk 9-0 for anyone with half a brain cell, but Libs on the other hand....
Democrats have something up their sleeve.

I expect a very bumpy road to election day if that day ever happens. I hope I’m wrong.
Here’s a little ditty for the dishonorable Colorado secretary of state:
Here I sit, broken hearted
Came to shit, but only farted.
UNANIMOUS!
Praise God!
Thanks
Can anyone go to court to have an order entered allowing the prevailing party court costs and attorney’s fees?
It would seem only fair...
Yep, pleasantly surprised it was 9-0.
It is only “historic” because state democrat apparatchiks who pose as judges and other state office holders decided to test the waters and see if they can just make up their own sh@%. Just willy nilly anyone being able to remove a candidate from the opposing party. This was a recipe for havoc, but the democrats don’t care. They are confident that republicans don’t like to create a havoc and will try to avoid it as much as possible. So they thought they can get away with it.
Just wait until they rule that Jack Smith was illegally appointed Special Counsel because he wasn’t appointed and approved by the Senate.
Just wait until they rule that Trump has immunity
Just wait until someone remembers that Trump was already tried for insurrection by Impeachment and acquitted by the Senate.
Just wait until the fine in the NY case is reduced to nothing.
Just wait until the Georgia case is thrown out and Fanni is too.
Just wait.
It states that it was a Per Curium decision, so it is an opinion of the entire court, without attribution to a single Justice.
The lying and deceived DemoRats still think President Trump led the ‘J6 Insurrection’ but those with eyes that see know it was an inside job with collusions to frame and blame it on Trump. Just one of many fraudulent accusations they threw at him. May their lies defeat them by their own insidious actions and intentions.
The court ruled for the constitution of the United States.
ABC can KMA.
Co. must have a bunch of fools running their political system.
What a nitwit. What if Tennessee or Alabama declared that Slow Joe was leading an insurrection and invasion by opening the border and moved unilaterally to keep him off the ballot. Would that be okay with you, Jena?
BTW, Federal law says that the _President_ declares when an insurrection is taking place, not a state court in Colorado.

Unanimous = “Bitch Slap.”
When you get those nine folks agreeing on anything, the decision’s statement should end with, “...and you are stupid for thinking otherwise.”
