Supreme Court Settles National Ballot Access Issue in Trump's Favor

March 4, 2024 (EIRNS)—The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that moves by a number of states to block former President Donald Trump from their ballots, using the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection clause,” are unconstitutional. The ruling came in response to Trump’s appeal against Colorado’s removing his name from its primary ballots, and resolving to do the same in the general election in November. It is also dispositive regarding Illinois, Maine, and any other state intending to do this.
