TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court unanimously overturned a Colorado court ruling that barred Donald Trump from appearing on the state's Republican presidential primary ballot due to an insurrection clause in the U.S. Constitution, stating that states have no power to enforce such a provision for federal office, especially the presidency. This decision means that no state can disqualify Trump or any other candidate from a presidential ballot using the insurrection clause. The ruling comes after Colorado, Maine, and Illinois had initially barred Trump from their ballots based on the same interpretation of the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
