Jan. 6 should've disqualified Trump. The Supreme Court disagreed.

Donald Trump is on the 2024 ballot thanks partly to the Supreme Court's decision to keep him off the ballot.

The justices reversed the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. Anderson .

The case was technically about one state during the primary process, but the ruling effectively scrapped nationwide efforts to enforce the constitutional provision barring oath-breaking insurrectionists from office.

Roberts joined four Republican appointees in the opinion that sparked two separate ones.

One of the Democratic appointees chided the trio for “stridency” in how it expressed disagreement.

The ruling’s real function was to let the court reverse the Colorado Supreme Court and avoid the political firestorm that might have ensued.
