The U.S. Supreme Court simply gave the election again to the voters.
The justices moved with urgency and unanimity permitting former President Donald Trump to stay on the poll, figuring out that Super Tuesday is pivotal. If solely Congress had the identical focus, however we digress.
Keeping Trump on the poll is past the fitting resolution. States should have no energy over nationwide points — and the Supreme Court agreed telling Colorado to again off.
“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 (of the Fourteenth Amendment) with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency,” the courtroom dominated in a 13-page resolution.
The justices quote case legislation stating federal officers “owe their existence and functions to the united voice of the whole, not of a portion, of the people.” That’s a strong message.
Leadership should be earned and no single state or group ought to be allowed to take it away prematurely.
The courtroom reminded us that the Fourteenth Amendment was “designed to help ensure an enduring Union by preventing former Confederates from returning to power in the aftermath of the Civil War” — to not intrude in a presidential race. Congress, the courtroom provides, is the one avenue.
Or, get out and vote!
The justices are reaching again, you could possibly say, to Teddy Roosevelt who proclaimed “the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.”
Colorado, your judgment “cannot stand.”
