The announcement could include comments on Trump’s voting eligibility.
The Supreme Court made the decision on Monday, the day before the Super Tuesday primary, in an announcement widely expected to resolve a dispute over states’ ability to exclude former President Donald Trump from voting under Article 3 of the federal law. He announced that he would present more than one opinion. 14th Amendment.
Until now, the court has not scheduled public sittings, and traditionally the verdicts in cases argued during the trial period were read out and handed down. According to the High Court’s website, the judges will not be present in court.
The opinion to be released Monday will be conducted electronically, the court said.
The justices last month heard expedited oral arguments in Trump’s appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to bar former President Trump from voting in 2024 in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
A majority of the justices at the time seemed to be very skeptical that individual states, like Colorado, had the power to remove candidates for federal office from the ballot as “insurrectionists.”
The Trump v. Anderson decision will be handed down the day before Colorado voters head to the polls. Trump’s name is already on the ballot there, but the ruling could determine whether votes for him can be counted, breaking with a 150-year-old constitutional provision. It would clarify the high court’s position on attempts to force it against Trump nationwide.
