The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday has agreed to take up Colorado’s decision to remove former president Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot.
The Court’s notification that it will consider Colorado’s ballot-removal ruling comes two days after Trump appealed to the nine federal justices.
“This Court” should “summarily reverse the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling, and return the right to vote for their candidate of choice to the voters,” Trump’s filing reads.
“The question of eligibility to serve as President of the United States is properly reserved for Congress, not the state courts, to consider and decide,” the appeal added. “By considering the question of President Trump’s eligibility and barring him from the ballot, the Colorado Supreme Court arrogated Congress’ authority.”
In December, the Colorado supreme court ruled that Trump should be barred from the state’s 2024 presidential ballots by citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which forbids anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from seeking public office.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case on February 8, providing ample time for both parties to submit amicus briefs in support of their opinions.
