"Supreme Court's Role in Trump's Ballot Ban Appeal"

TL;DR Summary
The case for removing Trump from the ballot due to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment has a fatal flaw rooted in historical context, as ballots as we know them today did not exist when the amendment was drafted. While the Supreme Court may rule against Colorado on eligibility for the ballot, it leaves the crucial question of Trump's eligibility for office unanswered. The historical intention of the framers of the 14th Amendment may once again be betrayed, as the court seems disinclined to rule on his eligibility, leaving the decision to Congress, which may prove politically inconceivable.
