Supreme Court will rule on Trump’s eligibility for state ballot – VPM News

Circumstances surrounding the event have changed significantly since the initial report on January 29th, 2019. The U.S. Supreme Court did indeed weigh in on the Colorado State Supreme Courts decision to disqualify former President Donald Trump from the states Republican primary ballot due to language in the Constitution barring insurrectionists from holding office. The Maines secretary of state had emphasized the importance of knowing the outcome by late January due to deadlines for getting ballots printed and sent to overseas voters. Despite the fact that the Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled on whether or not Trump is eligible to hold office following his acquittal in the Senate impeachment trial, there are those who argue that the clause in the Constitution that bars convicted individuals from holding office should also apply to those acquitted of charges.

Alternatively, the Supreme Court might overturn the ruling, which would prevent Trump from running for public office in Colorado. Finally, the Supreme Court could simply decline to hear the case, allowing the previous ruling to stand without further review. Regardless of the outcome, the political fallout from this
