Supreme Court Puts States Into Their Place

This is a good decision:

States can’t remove Trump from ballot, Supreme Court saysPolitico, Mar 4 2024

States have no authority to remove Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday, short-circuiting efforts by his detractors to declare him disqualified over his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The justices did not weigh in on the fraught question of whether Trump engaged in an insurrection by attempting to subvert the 2020 election results or stoking the violence on Jan. 6. But the high court ruled in an unsigned opinion that only Congress, not the states, can disqualify a presidential candidate under the Constitution’s “insurrection clause.”

Having the states judge over the legitimacy of a candidate would create a chaos in which federal elections would become a states against states court race, not a way to find some common representative.

It is good to see that librul and conservative judges agreed on that.

The judgment will hopefully help to tone down the shrill voices of the democratic commentators about Donald Trump.

One may not like him, ore even despise him, but he is a legitimate choice on the ballot.
