U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) expressed his thoughts on the recent Supreme Court decision regarding Donald Trump's presence on Colorado's presidential ballot. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of allowing Trump to remain on the ballot, rejecting efforts by certain states to remove him for partisan reasons.

Senator Cramer remarked, “The Supreme Court did its job, unanimously disagreeing with decisions by Colorado and other hyper-partisan states to remove Donald Trump from the presidential ballot because they don’t like him. Hopefully, this is a wakeup call for the swamp. Our Constitution and the timeless ideals it protects must always prevail over the shameless behavior we have witnessed these last several years with these supposed leaders that suffer from Trump derangement syndrome.”

The Supreme Court's decision centered on the enforcement of Section three of the 14th Amendment, specifically regarding disqualifying individuals from running for federal office. The Court clarified that while states have the authority to disqualify individuals from state offices, they lack the constitutional power to enforce Section 3 with regards to federal offices, particularly the presidency.

In light of this ruling, the importance of upholding constitutional principles and respecting the democratic process has been emphasized. The decision serves as a reminder of the fundamental values enshrined in the Constitution that must guide actions and decisions, even in times of political divisiveness.
