Trump wins Colorado ballot disqualification case at US Supreme Court • FRANCE 24 English

With more here’s Fraser Jackson reporting from outside the US Supreme Court quite a big moment but arguably something that we saw coming when you heard the oral arguments about a month ago it was kind of obvious which way this ruling was going it was just a

Matter of time until uh that was handed down and ultimately it was almost a last minute decision we were made aware of this ruling uh very early on Sunday just 24 hours notice given that a decision was going to be given uh in some argument they didn’t say which one it

Was but it was obviously it was going to be this Colorado ruling and it is a significant victory for Donald Trump all nine justices at the Supreme Court behind me ruling uh that this was not an issue for the states but rather something for Congress to decide

Although even some of the those justices uh stopped short of saying that themselves they also stayed clear of getting involved in politics although the timing uh could you could argue that they did have an eye on the political calendar given that super Tuesday is tomorrow when two of the states where

Trump was off the ballot in Colorado and Maine are both voting tomorrow in super Tuesday justices also avoiding a key argument by Donald Trump’s attorneys that he was not listed the president as an officer under the United States that was one of their key arguments but that was ultimately dodged

Uh by the justices and it’s also not the last entanglements that Donald Trump will have with the Supreme Court in the next couple of months there’s of course perhaps the bigger question of of his immunity when it comes to the January 6 federal case taking place here in

Washington DC that has now been decided the Supreme Court will hear arguments on that that’s happening at the end of April almost a surprise to a lot of legal analysts that that was going to happen pushing back the start of Donald Trump’s trial further and that is definitely something that his legal team

Uh is is wanting uh Donald Trump for his um for his part welcoming this um Victory on Monday morning he said the unhinged Democrat plan to erase my name crushed and burned but our fight to make America great again is far from over but of course his legal troubles definitely

Not far from over

The US Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a major victory on Monday, barring states from disqualifying candidates for federal office under a constitutional provision involving insurrection and reversing Colorado’s exclusion of him from its ballot. FRANCE 24’s Fraser Jackson reports.

  3. I have always predicted that SCOTUS would reinstate Trump on the state ballot in the State of Colorado. Only Congress has the power under the 14th Amendment to remove insurrectionists from state ballots.

    The father of American Realism, Oliver Wendell Holmes once said that the prophecies of what the courts do in fact, and nothing more pretentious are laws.

    The nine wise folks of SCOTUS have shown what the LAW on the 14th Amendment is, and by so doing, may have prevented a civil war that would have ensued.

  8. I’m choosing to see it as a decision to let the American people choose for themselves at the ballot box. If they had chosen to bar him a significant portion of the country would be in an uproar, and likely lose their faith in the voting system all together. I think it’s better this way. And I am not a Trump supporter.

  14. Big win for democracy!

    Supreme Court rules states cannot remove Trump from the ballot.

    The number of Votes of against globalists dictatorship were 9-0.
