Dear Trump Club of St Johns Members and Trump Supporters,
The US Supreme Court ordered President Trump back on the 2024 primary ballot in Colorado on Monday, the day before the Centennial State and 14 others pick their Republican nominees for president.
The unanimous ruling also overturns disqualification orders handed down by officials and judges in Maine and Illinois in recent weeks.
The order found that only Congress, and not individual states, can disqualify candidates for federal office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, known as the Insurrection Clause or the Disqualification Clause.
“The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court … cannot stand,” the order read. “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”
During Feb. 8 oral arguments, the majority of the justices had signaled openness to reversing a December decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to kick Trump off the primary ballot.
The Colorado Republican Party appealed that decision to the Supreme Court, while President Trump’s attorneys appealed the decision by Maine’s secretary of state and an Illinois judge to disqualify him.
At least one-third — 854 of 2,429 — of all Republican delegates will be up for grabs during the March 5 contest. Trump has already won 244 delegates.
MAGA!
Thank you,
Diane Scherff
President
