SUPREME COURT TO HEAR TRUMP BALLOT REMOVAL CASE OUT OF COLORADO
The court considered for the first time the meaning and reach of Article 3 of the 14th Amendment, which bars former officeholders who "engaged in insurrection" from holding public office again. Challenges have been filed to remove Trump from the 2024 ballot in over 30 states.
"A great win for America. Very, very important!" Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Monday morning.
"Equally important for our country will be the decision that they will soon make on immunity for a president — without which, the presidency would be relegated to nothing more than a ceremonial position, which is far from what the founders intended," Trump told Fox News Digital. "No president would be able to properly and effectively function without complete and total immunity."
He added, "Our country would be put at great risk."

As for Monday’s decision, Trump described it as a "big win for America."
"Today’s decision, especially the fact that it was unanimous, 9-0, is both unifying and inspirational for the people of the United States of America," he told Fox News Digital.

In its unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court concluded that "states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office."
"But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency," the Supreme Court wrote.
