The Supreme Court may deliver its ruling Monday, March 4, on whether Colorado can exclude former President Donald Trump from its ballot, based on the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. The Court has announced it will release one or more opinions.

🚨NEW: Supreme Court announces that it will issue an opinion on Monday. Very likely the case involving Donald Trump's disqualification under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

During last month’s proceedings, the majority of justices appeared skeptical of Colorado’s argument to remove Trump from its primary ballot. This decision is critical as Colorado, among other states, prepares for Super Tuesday’s primaries tomorrow.

Efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in Maine and Illinois are paused, waiting for the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Currently, Trump’s name remains on the ballot, but the impending Supreme Court ruling could decide if votes for him will be counted.

THE SUPREME COURT COULD ISSUE ITS RULING TODAY ON WHETHER COLORADO CAN REMOVE FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP FROM ITS BALLOT.

THE COURT ANNOUNCING IT WILL RELEASE ONE OR MORE OPINIONS TODAY.

LAST MONTH – THE MAJORITY OF JUSTICES SEEMED SKEPTICAL AS COLORADO ARGUED ITS CASE FOR TRUMP TO BE TAKEN OFF ITS PRIMARY BALLOT DUE TO THE 14TH AMENDMENT’S INSURRECTION CLAUSE.

COLORADO IS ONE OF THE SEVERAL STATES HOLDING PRIMARIES DURING SUPER TUESDAY TOMORROW.

AS OF NOW, TRUMP’S NAME REMAINS ON THE STATE’S BALLOT – BUT THE SUPREME COURT’S RULING COULD DETERMINE WHETHER VOTES FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT WOULD COUNT.
