The Supreme Court has issued a speedy ruling in a case over former president Donald Trump's ballot eligibility, handing the Republican candidate a unanimous victory.

While the state of Colorado had barred Trump from being on the ballot over Second 3 of the 14th Amendment, the Court ruled that "[b]ecause the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse."

Interestingly, the three liberal justices - Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown-Jackson - issued a concurring opinion, stating that they agree Colorado cannot keep Trump off the ballot. 

In their view, however, they believe five justices go further and "decide novel constitutional questions to insulate this Court and [Trump] from further controversy," when they ruled "that a disqualification for insurrection can occur only when Congress enacts a particular kind of legislation pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. In doing so, the majority shuts the door on other potential means of enforcement."
