Historic unanimous decision by the Supreme Court: restored Trump to the ballot. Why?
(By Molina and Maqueda) In a historic decision, the Supreme Court unanimously restored Donald Trump to the 2024 presidential primary ballots, rejecting state attempts to ban the former Republican president over the Capitol riot. Rejecting State Attempts to Ban Him Over the Capitol Attack, the justices ruled a day before Super Tuesday primaries that states cannot invoke a post-Civil War constitutional provision to keep presidential candidates from appearing on ballots. That authority resides with Congress, the court wrote in an unsigned opinion.
