"Supreme Court's Controversial Rulings: A Historian's Warning and Constitutional Concerns"

TL;DR Summary
Leading US historian Allan Lichtman criticized the US Supreme Court's unanimous ruling that Colorado was wrong to seek to remove Donald Trump from the ballot for inciting the January 6 insurrection. The court stated that only Congress can disqualify a candidate for federal office under the 14th Amendment. Lichtman and other historians argued that Trump should be removed from the ballot under section three of the 14th Amendment, but the court disagreed. The ruling has raised concerns about the court's handling of cases related to Trump and its potential political impact.
