    DescriptionIn the most controversial electoral decision since Bush v. Gore, the US Supreme Court unanimously overruled the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision disqualifying former president Donald Trump from the primary ballot, reasoning that Congress, not individual states, have constitutional authority to disqualify candidates. The united nature of the decision doesn’t restore the court’s waning legitimacy amid several ethics controversies, nor does it render it constitutionally sound.
