Removed by modSupreme Court keeps Trump on ballot, rejects Colorado voter challenge

The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously sided with Donald Trump, allowing the former president to remain on the election ballot and reversing a Colorado ruling that disqualified him from returning to office because of his conduct around the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The ruling leaves Trump as the leading candidate for the Republican nomination and for now removes the Supreme Court from directly determining the path of the 2024 presidential election. The justices fast-tracked the challenge from voters in Colorado, and issued their decision one day before Super Tuesday when that state and more than a dozen others hold primary contests. In a sign of the high court’s awareness of the election calendar, the justices took the unusual step of announcing the opinion on the Supreme Court’s website on a day when the court is not in session, instead of issuing it from the bench later this month. The justices were reviewing a decision from Colorado’s top court that relied on a long dormant post-Civil War provision of the 14th Amendment to declare Trump ineligible to return to the White House. The unprecedented case thrust the Supreme Court into a pivotal role not seen since 2000, when the high court’s decision in Bush v. Gore handed the presidency to George W. Bush and bitterly divided the nation.

Lol if libs had any spine they'd double down and keep Trump off the ballot anyways and call the Supreme Court an illegitimate and undemocratic institution that exists to rubberstamp legality unto the reactionary and anti-democratic policies of the GOP.
But the republican running-dogs that make up the democratic party won't and simply roll over to loose their quote most important election in the history of the world to stop fascism unquote.
Surely this will make liberals rethink going into the election with Genocide Joe. Right? Right?The only response to this decision is to vote harder and get even madder at anti-war activists going uncommitted.
Why would it makes us rethink anything? Stacked court gonna stacked court, we'll have to beat facism the old fashioned way.
we'll have to beat facism the old fashioned way.
Ight, let's pull out the tanks... :)
Unanimously? I figure it's the right decision then. That ain't no rubber stamp by hand-chosen sycophants.
That was also a held-nose vote by a reluctant opponent.
