The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that States can NOT remove President Trump from the ballot just because they want to!
Congress, not the States, is "responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates."
Only Congress has the power to enforce the 14th amendment.
“All nine members of the Court agree with that result.”
That didn't stop at least 10 states (Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Illinois, Maine) from trying!
They purposefully lied about it to scare people into not voting for President Trump in the primaries ("what if he can't get on the ballot?")
I’m guessing that’s why SCOTUS ruled the day BEFORE Super Tuesday (March 5th) to set the record straight for the voters! Right now, Trump has won 7 states and has 244 delegates to Haley’s 43.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Colorado Supreme Court erred in disqualifying and removing President Trump from the state’s ballot, and ordered his immediate reinstatement. The court also found that Presidents are not officers of the United States, and not bound by the 14th Amendment’s disqualification clause.
The Democrats are lying about presidential immunity, too. The President has immunity for official acts during his/her term just like every other elected official in this country!
The Supreme Court voting 9-0 in favor of Trump on this issue is a clear signal that the leftist "lawfare" in DC, Georgia & New York (91 bogus charges) that corrupt prosecutors & judges are using to try to take him down will not stand upon higher court review.
Lawfare is the distorted use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual's legal rights.

MIKE DAVIS: “Today’s 9-0 Supreme Court decision reversing the Colorado Supreme Court was a major bodyblow to the Democrats’ lawfare and election interference against Trump. And it’s just starting.
Remember, the Supreme Court will likely reverse the obstruction convictions of many January 6th defendants by the end of June. Because the Biden Justice Department intentionally misapplied and weaponized a post-Enron obstruction statute aimed at corporate fraud to destroy political enemies. That’s half of Jack Smith’s bogus January 6th case against Trump.
And by the end of June, the Court will likely hold the President—any President—is immune from criminal prosecution for his official acts. Just like federal judges and Members of Congress. Then remand the case to DC Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold an evidentiary hearing. She will likely have to determine what Jack Smith alleges Trump did in his official capacity (i.e., wanted to fire acting AG) verses in his personal capacity. That decision is subject to immediate appeal.
There is very little chance DC Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan and Jack Smith can railroad Trump before a DC jury and convict him before November 5, 2024. And 80% of Jack Smith’s case will be gone before the trial even begins. And the other 20% will get reversed on appeal. Because it’s not a crime to object to a presidential election. It’s specifically allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887. And the First Amendment.
That’s why Democrats—like Al Gore, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton—aren’t in prison for objecting to Republican wins in 1968, 2000, 2004, and 2016. Jack Smith is used to getting reversed—unanimously—by the Supreme Court after he brings bogus political charges against likely Republican presidential contenders. Such as the Supreme Court’s unanimous 2016 reversal of Jack Smith’s bogus conviction of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell. But it was too late: Jack Smith destroyed McDonnell political career and life.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "I want to thank the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today. It was a very important decision, very-well crafted."
PS: A Federal appeals court just ruled that TEXAS CAN ARREST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. A federal appeals court decision now authorizes Texas law enforcement to arrest and detain individuals illegally crossing the border. This has been going back and forth with court rulings since the law was passed in December. The Supreme Court could be next.
