Legal scholars weighed in Monday after the Supreme Court unanimously sided with former President Trump against an effort in Colorado to remove him from the ballot.
Reactions from legal experts are pouring in after the Supreme Court voted unanimously in favor of former President Trump and against the effort to remove him from the Colorado ballot for allegedly taking part in an «insurrection.»
«The Court showed a divided nation that we remain bound by shared constitutional values,» George Washington Law professor Jonathan Turley said on Fox News immediately after the decision was read, adding that this was a «critical moment for this court in history.»
«After all of the years we have spent in this Republic we came to a point where these states claimed that they could unilaterally bar the leading presidential candidate from ballots to prevent people from voting for Donald Trump,» Turley said. «The court here struck with a strong, and it appears unanimous, voice at least on the result that that’s not going to happen. Voters will vote. They’ll make their own verdict regardless of cases that happen involving President Trump. They will cast the most important verdict of all. They will vote for the next President of the United States.»
«So much for the long list of people who weighed in on this case to declare that Colorado’s position was the only constitutionally acceptable one and suggesting that any idiot could see that,» Judicial Network President Carrie Severino posted on X.
