"Supreme Court's Selective Originalist Approach: Impact on Trump and Colorado Ballot Ban Case"

Critics argue that the Supreme Court's recent ruling on Trump's ballot eligibility shows a selective application of the conservative legal methodology of originalism, with little originalist analysis in the decision. Some conservative legal scholars and former judges have criticized the ruling as judicial activism and a departure from originalist principles. The court's 6-3 conservative majority has faced scrutiny for allegedly ignoring originalist arguments in cases such as abortion rights and affirmative action, leading to liberal outcomes. The debate over the court's adherence to originalism continues to spark controversy and criticism from legal scholars on both sides of the political spectrum.
