'Court did not do what Trump asked': Experts say SCOTUS ruling will dismay ex-president

Raw Story  

Legal analysts had anticipated that the U.S. Supreme Court would reverse Colorado's effort to kick Donald Trump off its ballot — but they said Monday it hadn't worked out the way the former president might have hoped. He also said that the case "will put more questions to why Jack Smith didn't charge essentially insurrection, didn't charge a criminal statute which was passed, of course, by Congress whereupon conviction disqualifies you from holding office because that would seemingly potentially qualify for what the Supreme Court says is necessary, that sort of federal action that they're looking for as opposed to individual, unilateral state action." Katyal agreed, noting Trump was likely "disappointed" that the U.S. Supreme Court didn't absolve him of the Colorado court's insurrection finding. "The court did not do what Donald Trump asked, which was to clear him of insurrection," he said.
