Welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around the world im wolf blitzer. Youre in the Situation Room the ski is cnn, Breaking News the colorado Secretary Of State is standing by to discuss the consequences of the us Supreme Courts unanimous rejection of her states efforts to remove donald trump from the president ial ballot speak with her in just a moment. But first, lets get a breakdown of the line Landmark High Court decision from cnn, chief Legal Affairs correspondent, Paula Reid Former President Trump today claims the Supreme Court has unified the country by securing his place on the 2024 ballot. You voters can take the person out of the race very quickly. But a court shouldnt be doing that and the Supreme Court, so that very well. And i really do believe that well, be a unifying factor in a unanimous opinion monday, the court ruled that colorado could not remove trump from the ballot under the constitutions ban on insurrectionists serving in Office States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office, but states have no power under the constitution to enforce Section Three with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency, the justices warned that allowing states to each make different decisions about Ballot Eligibility would result in a patchwork creating chaos around elections the victory for trump was expected after february Oral Arguments where justices from both sides of the aisle appeared skeptical of colorados case. I think that the question that you have to confront is why a single state should decide and who gets to be president of the United States. And the chief justice, unlikely that congress will do anything before november. And in less than two months, the court will hear arguments on another major trump case that could impact the outcome of the election. There the question is if trump has immunity that could protect him from criminal charges related to his efforts lets to subvert the 2020 election. Now will most legal experts do not think trump will win on the merits. But the fact that court has even taken the case could help them delay it until after the president ial contest. We shall see a huge, huge decision coming up on that front as well. Paula reid at the 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 dont have the power to remove federal candidates from the ballot. Whats your reaction to this historic decision today . Well, thank you for having me on first and foremost, im 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, im disappointed. We believe that its up to colorado or any state to determine whether to disqualify oathbreaking insurrectionists from our ballots. Ultimately, the United States Supreme Court disagreed. Votes were donald trump will count and he is on our ballot. The court didnt address the sensitive issue whether trump has actually an insurrectionist. Are you disappointed by that and what worries you most about this decision . I wouldnt say i was surprised. They didnt address it but it is the big elephant in the rub only two courts have looked at the question of whether trump engaged in insurrection, and they both determined that he did and i think one of the concerns from this decision is that without congressional action, oathbreaking Insurrectionists Running For Federal Office will not be able to be stopped from appearing on ballots although congress could act, its highly unlikely with such congress that we have that just doesnt function very well as you heard, the madam secretary, even the three liberal justices agreed that trump cant be removed from the ballot given that did the colorado Supreme Court, from your perspective . Go too far i dont think the colorado Supreme Court went too far. I think theyre different opinions. Thats why we have a judicial system as to whether Section Three of the 14th Amendment is selfexecuting, whether states can apply that provision of the constitution to protect our ballots from oathbreaking insurrectionists i also think that the big concern is still there. Donald trump incited the insurrection. He incited that violent mob onto the capitol to try to stop the peaceful transfer of president ial power. And he has not stopped his attack acts on democracy since then its clear you disagree strongly with the supreme Court Decision as a legal matter. But madam secretary, is it better for the country that if if trump goes ahead and loses the election, its a result of the voters making their choice at the ballot box as an elected official, as colorado Secretary Of State, its my job to uphold the law in the constitution. If there is a provision in the constitution that would bar someone like trump from appearing on the ballot . Its my job to enforce that. When theres Big Questions while it goes into litigation and weve seen that play out exactly how it did. Trump is a qualified candidate. The United States Supreme Court has decided states do not have the authority to remove him and ultimately will it will be up to the American People to save our democracy in november at their Voting Centers. Insurrection he incited that violent mob onto the capitol to try to stop the peaceful transfer of president ial power. And he has not stopped his attacks on democracy since then. So its clear you disagree strongly with the supreme Court Decision as a legal matter, but madame secretary, is it better for the country that if if trump goes ahead and loses the election, its a result of the voters making their choice at the ballot box as an elected official, as colorado Secretary Of State, its my job to uphold the law in the constitution if there is a provision in the constitution that would bar someone like trump from appearing on the ballot . Its my job to enforce that. When theres Big Questions while it goes into litigation and weve seen that play out exactly how it did. Trump is a qualified candidate. The United States Supreme Court has decided states do not have the authority to remove him and ultimately will it will be up to the eric and people to save our democracy in november at their Voting Centers trusting the Supreme Court according to various polls, is near record lows right now, will todays decision lower the courts standing with the public, even more so. Do you have less faith yourself in the court . My opinion on the court does not immediately matter to this case in hand. I am disappointed. But as Secretary Of State, ill uphold the United States Supreme Courts decision donald trump, i believe, is a danger to american democracy. We already see maga, extremists trying to undermine confidence in 2024 trump himself is facing 91 Felony Counts in four separate cases. The American People from the very beginning have all the power in the world to safeguard our country. I was never waiting on the Supreme Court to do that because that will be the American Voters job this fall, we shall see what happens. The colorado Secretary Of State, jenna griswold. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Lets get some reaction right now from our legal and political experts and laura coates, ill start with you how significant is todays decision . Oh, its a huge decision wolf. The idea that even waiting for over a month, of course, very interesting as well. But this tells you that they have foreclosed in some respect and only a former president being able to be found im getting this way, but also any official thats not explicitly laid out in Section Three of the 14th Amendment. Its consequential. Could they told the states essentially, although your job is to oversee elections, to stay in your lane, if its a state issue, its all yours. But for federal office, you cannot. And thats pretty significant here. What did you think of what we just heard . From the colorado Secretary Of State, her reaction while i think its obvious she wanted a different conclusion, her job as an official obviously has to carry out the law as its written, but the notion that theyre taking away the states ability to decide who can be on their own ballots is a huge step. The Supreme Court and why . Because they believe that its inappropriate for one state eight to decide how the rest of essentially the union will be able to operate. But their role is hold on. If im in charge of my own State Elections than why would i not be in that best position here for my own voters . This is a way i think them to have the offramp that she was even herself because of being happening. And here it is, the offramp and the Supreme Court got off at that exit. What did you think norm eisen from what we just heard from the colorado Secretary Of State, well, wealth, their legal issues that reasonable minds can disagree about. I think secretary griswold position that the evidence strongly supported donald trump engaged in insurrection and the Fair Assessment that that is a threat to the devil im a critic. Norms of the system. I think here though you cant underestimate the political win for donald trump a nine, nothing unanimous. Supreme Court Decision is just something we saw him do it this afternoon. You could just take out and sell on the Campaign Trail As, as validation. Now, i know this wasnt the thorniest or trickiest of all the legal issues he faces and that he had a pretty strong case here to take before the Supreme Court. But that is still sort of a feather in his cap. Now to, as hes trying to do away with all of these legal challenges to get a nine nothing supreme Court Decision on one that keeps do on the ballot is no small thing. Yeah, thats a good important point. Laura based on what we saw today with todays supreme Court Decision, how if at all do you think that potentially could affect the other major supreme Court Decision thats coming in the weeks ahead, whether or not the president , the former president in this particular case he has president ial immunity. In other words, he cant be charged with a crime. Well, there was this idea that the Supreme Court might split the baby. They might say in the colorado case. Okay. Youre on the ballot, which again, be careful what you wish for, because if your whole schtick is that im capped off on political martyr. Now that youre back on, if you should lose, you cant really blame the Supreme Court although likely someone will, then the other part of it is hold on a second. Youve got this Immunity Case here. Well, that seems to be a much stronger argument in favor of took about a month to actually have a decision if you have an oral argument, april on april 22, if its a month from then you have an actual decision. Well, there might in fact be some time on the clock before the election to have some meaningful argument or a trial. And to davids point about putting the wind in Donald Trumps sales before for Super Tuesday clearly theyre focused on the political calendar and the right of every american to be informed. Well, if you apply that same logic, how much more so super majority of americans wants to know did donald trump abuse the powers that hes seeking two regain, they want a jury verdict on that. So perhaps thats a sign that theyll meet that schedule. So the january 6 trial can take place. Well see what, if any, Impact Todays supreme Court Decision has on the voting tomorrow, the republican primaries in all these states coming up Super Tuesday coming up, well have much more. All of the days Important News right after this i was stuck unresolved. Depression symptoms were in my way.
