Supreme Court Boxed Into Corner Over Donald Trump Decision

The Colorado Supreme Court‘s decision to quote a current U.S. Supreme Court judge while removing Donald Trump from the state ballot is a very good sign that the ruling will be upheld, an attorney involved in the case has said.

In its decision, the Colorado Supreme Court quoted Neil Gorsuch, who was a Colorado judge when he blocked a presidential candidate from the state ballot in 2012. In the 2012 ruling, Gorsuch noted that the independent candidate, Abdul Hassan, was born in Guyana, which excluded him from running for president and that Colorado has the right to set its own ballot rules.

“One of the things that you’ll find in this ruling is some reliance is based on writings of Neil Gorsuch — Justice Gorsuch — and what he had to say about protecting ballots from people who did not belong on them,” Nicolais told CBSNews after Tuesday’s Colorado Supreme Court decision. “So I think there’s actually a very good chance we can win at the U.S. Supreme Court level.”
