The Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump can be on the presidential primary ballot in Colorado, overruling a state court ruling that said otherwise. Congress, rather than the states, is responsible for enforcing the constitutional provision at issue against federal officeholders and candidates, the court said Monday in a “per curiam” opinion, meaning an unsigned ruling for the court.

” The decision comes a day ahead of Super Tuesday, when several states are holding their primary contests, including Colorado. Briefs from outside groups, including historians, argued that Trump is disqualified from office under the 14th Amendment. But the Feb. 8 oral argument showed the justices’ discomfort with keeping the leading GOP presidential candidate off the ballot.
