"Supreme Court Upholds Trump's Placement on State Ballots"

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court ruled that states cannot bar Donald Trump from the ballot over his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, reversing the Colorado Supreme Court's decision. The ruling clarified that Congress, not states, is responsible for enforcing the 14th Amendment's provision, ensuring Trump's eligibility in Colorado and ending similar cases in other states. The unanimous decision, with some divisions among the justices, removes one avenue for holding Trump accountable for his role in challenging the 2020 election results and his exhortation to supporters on Jan. 6.
