Trump's Ballot Disqualification: A Controversial Victory for Washington Watchdog
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The New York Times
Barring Donald Trump from the ballot in the Colorado Republican primary would be a mistake, according to Samuel Moyn, a professor of law at Yale. While many liberals may wish to see Trump removed from the political system, the Supreme Court should not intervene in this case, as it would risk undermining democracy and strengthening the perception of judicial overreach. The exact role of Trump in the events of January 6th is still contested, and excluding him from the ballot could lead to further violence. Instead, the burden should be placed on Trump's political opponents to make their case in the political arena.
