Republicans widely celebrated President Donald Trump’s massive Supreme Court victory Monday — as the Court determined in a 9-0 decision that Colorado cannot disqualify Trump from appearing on the ballot — deeming it a “massive win for voters and historic loss for leftist activist judges.”
The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) issued the historic, unanimous ruling on Monday — a day before Super Tuesday. The Court determined that only Congress has the power to disqualify a candidate from the ballot using the Fourteenth Amendment’s “Insurrection Clause.” In doing so, the Court overturned the Colorado Supreme Court’s controversial 4-3 opinion.
Republicans across the board celebrated this massive victory. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) described the victory as a “resounding rebuke of liberal activist judges attempting to interfere in the 2024 election.”
“Glad the Supreme Court got this right,” he added:

“The unanimous ruling is an undeniable message to the radical left that are trying to use the courts against President Trump,” he continued:

Trump stays on the ballot in communist states committing election interference by trying to block Americans from being able to vote for the candidate of their choice!
