US Supreme Court strikes down effort to disqualify Trump from Colorado primary election - BBC News US Supreme Court strikes down effort to disqualify Trump from Colorado primary election - BBC News

From a podium at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump describes the Supreme Court ruling as a "very important decision, and very well crafted". With the Supreme Court ruling that only Congress - and not individual states - can enforce Section 3 to block a candidate from federal office, at least one Democrat is already paying attention.
He says "it will go a long way towards bringing our country together". Maryland lawmaker Jamie Raskin, one of the most vocal anti-Trump voices in Congress, told CNN earlier that he is "working with a number of my colleagues... to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by Section 3".
The decision will "be spoken about 100 years from now, 200 years from now", according to Trump. "The House of Representatives already impeached Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it," he noted.
"You can't take someone out of a race because an opponent would like it that way," Trump adds. Raskin was one of the Democratic 'impeachment managers' who prosecuted the case in its trial phase before the Senate, which ultimately voted to acquit Trump.
Voters can take a person out of a race very quickly, says Trump, but a court shouldn't be doing that.
