what brought us to this pass is that the colorado supreme court and a secretary of state in maine hadboth this amendment was executed, that trump, through their findings, had engaged in insurrection and those parts of the ruling remain. but the supreme court decided that -- essentially restoring trump to the ballot, it said that it is not up to the states and by a slim majority found that there is only one way that this disqualification clause can be enforced and that is through an act of congress, severely limiting its application and clearing that constitutional hurdle for trump in the 2024 election. >> just to be clear, if he was convicted of insurrection or interference in the election, there would still need to be a vote in congress to confirm that he is removed from the ballot? the courts alone cannot do that? >> that is a very interesting question that i have heard legal bate raging so far on that very question. because the very statute of insurrection, under some legal theory, could be decided to be an act of congress, but to an extent that is pretty academic. remember, trump

supreme court. all nine justices unanimously agreed to reverse the decision by the colorado supreme court the nine justices today allowed trump to be on the ballot in colorado late last year, as you might recall, the colorado supreme court removed trump from the ballot. they found that because trump engaged in an insurrection on and around january 6, he was banned from holding federal office under the us constitution's 14th amendment but in addition to disagreeing with that decision today five of the conservative justices and majority of the high court, they went even further. they wrote that no state can kick any federal candidate off a ballot. insurrection be one thing that us supreme court did not address today is whether or not trump's actions on and around you january 6 amounted to an insurrection in response to today's ruling. the top election official in maine, formerly restored trump's spot on that state's ballot. after trump had been previously removed under her powers, she invoked the same 14th amendment concerns all of this coming literally just hours ahead of the biggest de in the 2024 presiden

because we don't want to presuppose what the supreme court is going to do but elie all weekend long were anticipating this could happen before the colorado primary as part of super tuesday and then yesterday, there was this indication from the supreme court that something's coming down, something's cooking. yeah. >> we don't know for sure that this is going to be colorado, but all indications are that it will be because the primary is tomorrow, colorado how his voting tomorrow and it would make sense for the supreme court to decide its needs to interrupt you because i got to interrupt because we have been just told they just told me in my ear, the supreme court has handed down a ruling in the colorado ballot issue, elie, let me go back to you. so i hate to make you do this, but as were all refreshing and joan biskupic because onset with us as well we have other folks over the supreme court right now, laura coates, paula reid, were all refreshing to read through this just to make sure dana bash that we don't add 2.2 and get 22. but elie, you were just saying a few moments. >> so this excuse me. this is the 14th amendment ruling out of col

supreme court, and it comesjust ruling by the colorado supreme courtd it comes just a ruling by the colorado supreme court, and it comesjust a day before voters go out to vote in the primary election. this before voters go out to vote in the primary election-— before voters go out to vote in the primary election. this will be seen, as we were — primary election. this will be seen, as we were saying, _ primary election. this will be seen, as we were saying, personally, - primary election. this will be seen, as we were saying, personally, mrl as we were saying, personally, mr trump is likely to use this to boost and bolster his campaign. can you remind us where we are when it comes to how close he is to becoming the republicans' candidate of choice this year? he republicans' candidate of choice this ear? , , this year? he will definitely use this year? he will definitely use this to boost _ this year? he will definitely use this to boost his _ this year? he will definitely use this to boost his campaign. - this year? he will definitely use this to boost

supreme court with all of its ideological diversity to say 9-0, hey, colorado supreme court you were wrong. we shouldn't be surprised. even republicans on the colorado supreme court didn't agree with it. it was a very, very close decision. number two, when is the last time we were talking about the ninth and 10th amendment? those things have been dead. but they're referenced in this opinion. >> dana: politically for president trump who is going to give remarks at noon, he's going to say big win for america and his ability to sort of get this particular issue off of his legal plate. you still got fully, you know, all you can eat buffet of legal issues the democrats put in place for him. but politically for him, do you think that helps continue the momentum that we're seeing that's just inevitable in the polls from "the new york times," fox news and a.p. over the weekend? >> yes, and this particular instance, you know, he was politically targeted. and he can safely say that is the unanimous opinion of the u.s. supreme court including justices that otherwise do not like me and will not v

findings by originally a trial court after a trial on this issue and by a majority of the colorado supreme courtestion, of did president trump engage in an insurrection, every court that grappled with that issue found that he did. and no court that grappled with that issue found the opposite. grappled with that issue found the o- osite. , . opposite. interesting. let me read out to our viewers _ opposite. interesting. let me read out to our viewers what _ opposite. interesting. let me read out to our viewers what amy - opposite. interesting. let me read| out to our viewers what amy coney barrett wrote, and reid tweeted today. the court has settled, she said, a politically charged issue in the volatile season of the presidential election, particularly in this circumstance, writings of the court should turn the temperature down not up. for present purposes our differences are far less important than our unanimity, and we are united on the outcome of this case. that is interesting in two directions. first of all, they are concerned how their rulings will be viewed at what is a particularly divisive

the supreme court said only congress can set up the rules for enforcing that provision against federalfederal officeho. that was the specific question. coloradoupremes court is a state court it had no authority to make the determination that donald trump was ineligible for engaging in insurrection per. >> really surprise it was unanimous ruling? >> and no i was not. because of the many, many trump cases the supreme court is hearing. this would seem pretty clear the court was going to go into this ral argument and it was also the consensus of many observers of the court.llowed each state to make this kind of determination were pretty severe. the same can of the supre court majority could be qualified inat some states. not qualified in others. even based on the same records. this is not a shocker. three liberal justices a concurring opinion can you explain what the argument was? >> sure. to use the sometimes exotic and nomenclature all nine agree with the judgment. but not the opinion. they're only five who agreed with the majority was unsigned. we know who they were because we know who they are. process of elimination of it being a majority. t

it means the supreme court has just paved the way for an adjudicated insurrectionist, donald trump, adjudicated by the colorado court. adjudicated by the colorado supreme court as an insurrectionist, paves his way to potentially retake the reins of federal power. it's hard to understand how we can have more confidence in congress's ability to make this consequential decision. that's what the supreme court has just said. it's up to congress. so what have they done? well, they've put it in the capable hands of folks like jim jordan, james comer, marjorie taylor greene, matt gaetz and others to have such a deep and abiding concern about the health of our democracy kind of separate and apart from politics to make this decision in the right way for the american people. i am not inspired, and i'm not confident that that will produce a result that's good for american democracy. >> and glenn, in that concurring opinion, one of the two, the one with by justice sotomayor, kagan, and jackson, they talk about the court's decision that has overreaching consequences in so many ways. so it is also significant that all nine e

this unanimous decision found colorado supreme court ruling was wrong. skyler henry has a report from the supreme court. >> reporter: the nation's highest court ended former president trump a unanimous victory. ruling that colorado cannot keep him off the ballot for the 2024 presidential election. >> the rationale here really is, we don't want states to be able to do this. >> reporter: at issue was a narrow colorado supreme court decision in a case brought by voters, are doing trump should be removed from the states ballots because he committed insurrection on january 6th. and was disqualified under section 3 of the 14th amendment. which states, no person shall be a senator or representative in congress or elected president or vice president or hold any office who took an oath and then engage in insurrection. >> we saw what happened when donald trump was on the ballot for president and lost. he refused to concede and ultimately incited a violent insurrection. >> reporter: during oral arguments in early february, the justices seemed skeptical weather stays

supreme court. thank you very much joining us now, the colorado secretary of state, jenna griswold, madam secretary thanks so much for joining us. the high court says states don't have the power to remove federal candidates from the ballot. what's your reaction to this historic decision today? >> well, thank you for having me on first and foremost, i'm glad that they issued a decision colorado voters and american voters all across the country deserve to know whether donald trump is qualified or not as we go into super tuesday but in terms of the bigger decision, i'm disappointed. we believe that it's up to colorado or any state to determine whether to disqualify oath-breaking insurrectionists from our ballots. ultimately, the united states supreme court disagreed. votes for donald trump will count and he is on our ballot. >> the court didn't address the sensitive issue whether trump has actually an insurrectionist. are you disappointed by that and what worries you most about this decision? >> i wouldn't say i was surprised they didn't address it but it is the big elephant in the ram. only two courts

were going to democratic judges and democratic jurisdictions like colorado and just have the colorado supreme court in a 4-3 decision. all seven of the colorado justices are democrats. four of them a left and they just took president trump off the ballot in colorado. they would use that president nationwide. the supreme court reversed that 9-0. it is very hard to get the supreme court to rule 9-0 on these key cases. there is democrat lawfare and election that even justices taken, sotomayor, and jackson not exactly trump fans, joint in this nine to nothing decision to side with president trump. you are seeing president biden's hands on all four of these unprecedented criminal prosecutions against president trump for non-crimes. it is not a crime to object to a presidential election in america. it is allowed by the electoral count act of 1887. democrats objected to republican wins in 1968, 2000, 2004, 2016. we do not see john kerry and hillary clinton in jail. it is also allowed by the first amendment to object to presidential elections. it is only illegal to object to a presidential election in thir

that banned, nor does it define what qualifies as insurrection, leaving the us supreme court now to fill those gaps, colorado secretary of state jenna griswold joins us now. good to have you on tonight. i couldn't think of a better night to have you on given what supreme court watchers believe will hear tomorrow, it doesn't reveal ahead of time which opinion to expect, but there's a lot of analysis that given super tuesday is just 48 hours away, this will be what they decide on what are you expecting? >> well, thanks for having me on jim, it's always great to join you. and i can tell you, i hope it's the decision and you're right. a lot of folks think that it will be the colorado decision as to whether or not trump has disqualified himself i had hoped for this decision last week, the week before, because our ballots actually went out several weeks ago. and over 400,000 ballots have already been returned for the republican presidential primary. at the end of the day, coloradans, and americans deserve to know as they go into super tuesday whether trump is a qualified candidate or not. >> let me ask you this. y

the secretary of state for colorado said over the weekend they have already received 800,000 votes. imagine if the supreme courtback colorado and strike donald trump of the ballot. many people in colorado could legitimately argue that they had been disfranchised if donald trump was disqualified, but the supreme court has unanimously decided that donald trump will stay on the ballot because in terms of the amendment you mentioned, and we heard this in the oral arguments last month, they questioned the validity of it because the whole point, they said, the chiefjustice said last month, of that amendment was to restrict states after the civil war, to restrict confederate states. why would you give one state the power to knock someone off the ballot like that? it would have set an extraordinary precedent. this is a unanimous decision, and for donald trump, he has described it as a big win for america and he is expected to comment on the ruling at some point this morning. h0??? to comment on the ruling at some point this morning.— to comment on the ruling at some point this morning. how close is he to securing — poi

supreme court as the high court has ruled in mr. trump's favor allowing him to remain on the ballot in the state of colorado. the supreme court ruled that states cannot kick him off the ballot for his actions leading up to the january 6 attack on the capital. it reverses a decision from the colorado supreme court which ruled that mr. trump could not serve as president again under the 14th amendment. the supreme court's ruling makes it clear that congress, not states sets the rules on how that provision is enforced. two other states, maine and illinois have moved to keep the former president off of their ballot. critical allen -- political allen is -- >> reporter: how will they send the message that the state cannot keep the president off the ballot and it turns out there was a did -- division. to go into the weeds as we say. four justices disagreed. four of them were extraordinarily harsh on the way they think the majority ramrod at it through in their view. all is not as peaceful as it might seem. >> mr. trump also wants immunity for all presidents saying that his decisions should be immune from any legal re

the supreme court said only congress can set out the rules for enforcing the provision against a federal candidate and officeholders. that was the question. colorado's supreme court is a state court and had no authority to make that determination that donald trump was ineligible for engaging in insurrection. host: were you surprised it was unanimous? es no, because of the many trump cases the supreme court is hearing. this one seemed pretty clear the courwa this direction. it was clear at the oral argument and the consensus view of many observers of the court, because the applications of 11 each state to make this kind of determination were pretty severe. the same candidate could be qualified in some states and not qualified and others. even based on the same conduct or record. this was not really a shocker. host: the nine justices all agreed with the opinion. the three level justices -- liberal justices offered a concurring opinion. can you explain what their argument was? guest: to use thsometimes exotic nomenclature, all night agreed with the judgment but not the opinion. there are only five that agreed th the majority opinion, which was unsigned

e colorado supreme court held that president donald j. trump is constitutionally disqualified rving as president under ion 3 of the 14th amendment. the coloupreme court's decision is wrong and should be reversed for numerous ndent reasons. the first reason is that president trump is not covered by section 3 because the prt is not an officer of the united states as that term is used throughout the constitution. in both situations a state is accelerated the deadline to meet the deadline of the constitutionally imp qualificat and is therefore violatinholding of term limits. in the situation a ruling from court below would not onlye e term limt take away the votes of potentially tens of millions of americans. i welcome the courts questions. spend much time on yourdidn't arguments with respect to self-executing.n three is would you address that. in doing your argument is that it is not self-executing so in that case what ith the state be or is entirely up to congo imple we need to say something more than that because a nonstop executing treaty

the supreme court decided to back colorado, _ thousand votes. decided to back colorado, many - thousand votes. the supreme court l decided to back colorado, many many people in colorado who could legitimately argue that they had been disenfranchised if donald trump was disqualified, but this supreme court has unanimously decided that donald trump will stay on the ballot because in terms of the amendment that you mentioned there and we heard this in the oral arguments last month, the question of a bella dvd of it. of that amendment to restrict states after the civil war to restrict confederate states and why would you give one state the power to knock someone off the ballot like that, it would have set a very extraordinary precedent. so this is a unanimous decision and as you mentioned donald trump is described as a big win for america and is expected to comment on the ruling some point this morning. find ruling some point this morning. and how close is — ruling some point this morning. and how close is he to securing the republican party's nominat

remember, both the colorado district court and colorado supreme court ruled trump did, in fact, engage in insurrection. the state court said his, quote, actions constituted overt, voluntary, and direct participation in the insurrection. a judge in illinois and the secretary of state in maine determined at the same thing. today, by declining to address that issue at all, the supreme court let that stand. they could have said otherwise, but they did not. it's not like trump didn't ask them to. remember, he argued at length that he did not engage in an insurrection, that it was not an insurrection at all, but the court said nothing about that. by saying nothing, i think they said a whole lot. yes, donald trump's name may be on the ballot in colorado and illinois and maine, but no, that name was not cleared of an insurrection today. it's important to remember that. i spent all day wondering what sharon ivel thinks about all of this. she never holds back. she has lots of brilliant thoughts. she's the former president of the naacp legal defense fund. she's now the vernon jordan distinguished

be a nice night before we get to all that, the supreme court ruled today that donald trump can remain on the ballot, overriding a decision by the coloradote supreme court that declared trump ineligible due to the constitution's ban on insurrectionists holding office. for more on this, it's time for "a closer look." [ cheers and applause ♪ >> seth: trump has remained completely unrepentant about the insurrection on january 6th and his attempt to overturn the 2020 election results and end american democracy in fact, he's got a new slogan at his rallies, repeating the deranged lie that the 2020 election was rigged. >> we want a landslide that is too big to rig too big to rig that's what we need. we want a landslide. we have to win we have to win so that it's too big to rig too big to rig >> seth: which is he saying it so slowly? [ laughter ] it tells you how little he thinks of his crowd that he pronounces one-syllable words the way i read "hop on pop" to my 3-year-old. [ laughter ] "all ball. we all play ball." [ laughter ] "big rig too big to rig." [ laughter ] there's a new report out that the trump white house was awash in drugs, which

the supreme court ignored that argument and left standing the finding by the colorado supreme court that donald trump did indeed engage in insurrection. the supreme court's opinion simply said that the individual states are not allowed to enforce the provisions of section three of the 14th amendment against candidates for federal office. the opinion said that the state of colorado could enforce section three of the 14th amendment against candidates seeking state and local offices in colorado. the five republican men on the supreme court, two of whom were appointed by donald trump, extended their majority opinion far beyond what the nine justices were willing to agree on e in the essential ruling by indicating that the federal enforcement of the 14th amendment would require the congress to pass implementing legislation. the three justices of the supreme court appointed by president obama and copresident biden wrote a separate opinion of only six pages where they ey referred to donald trump as an oath breaking insurrectionist ec four times and said, quote, legislation of any kind, however

the supreme court sided with trump and overturned the colorado court's decision, which tried to strike former president from the ballot, citing the third clause of the ancient fourteenth amendment of the constitution, which prohibits rebels from being elected, but the decision of the supreme court arrived the day before. tuesday put an end to this matter. the responsibility for applying article three to federal officials and candidates lies with congress, not the states. therefore, the colorado supreme court's decision cannot stand. all nine members of the court agree with this result. unanimous decision of nine judges - a clear signal to the nation and other states, where, following the example of colorado, they wanted to prevent trump from entering primaris. separately, in the conclusion of the supreme. we will be able to achieve greater success than two octogenarian presidential candidates. the unanimous decision of the judges for trump supporters is a loud signal to mobilize, the system is bending, which means victory is possible. but here they are preparing another trap, to allow
