The Supreme Court on Monday unanimously reversed the Colorado court ruling that barred former President Donald Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot because of a provision in the U.S. Constitution related to people who engage in insurrection.
"The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand."
"This suit was brought by Colorado voters under state law in state court," Barrett wrote.
"The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election," she wrote.
Monday's ruling reverses decisions by two other states, Maine and Illinois, which acted after the Colorado Supreme Court, to bar Trump from their primary ballots.
