Good evening. I am norah odonnell. And thank you for being with us. We want to begin with the news and analysis of that historic decision from the supreme court. The justices ruling that states cannot bar donald trump from running for another term, even though he is accused by some of insurrection. Colorado and several other states were seeking to disqualified trump because of his action surrounding the january 6th attack on the u. S. Capitol. Now todays decision was unanimous. All nine justices agreed that trump cannot be barred from the ballot. And perhaps the most important ruling about a president ial election of more than two decades since the decision of Bush Versus Gore in 2000. This is the key paragraph of the ruling. States may disqualify persons attempting to hold state office, but states have no power under the constitution with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency. Now the courts three liberal members say the courts majority went too far. Justices sonya soto mayor, elena kagan, and Ketanji Brown jackson expressed frustration in a Concurring Opinion. Saying that decision protects donald trump from future controversy. Cbss robert costa has a former president s reaction. Reporter a crucial decision today with sweeping political consequences. The High Court Ruling that former President Trump cannot be removed from colorados ballot. Due to the state courts view that he stoked the january 6th insurrection. You cannot take somebody out of a race. The voters can take a person out of the race very quickly, but a court should not be doing that. Reporter with this ruling, two other states also have their efforts to remove the former president stalled. Three justices and a separate Concurring Opinion said allowing the colorado measure to go forward would we agreed create a chaotic statebystate patchwork of made a tense political landscape. Justice Amy Coney Barrett also urged americans to see unity from the unanimous decision. Writing in this circumstance, writings on the court should turn the National Temperature down, not up. Colorados democratic Secretary Of State offered sharp criticism of the decision. I do believe that states should be allowed under the constitution to bar insurrectionists. Reporter the ruling comes a day before super tuesday, the biggest Primary Election Day of the season, when voters in 15 states including colorado head to the polls. And trumps legal hurdles continue to pile up as the supeme court weighs another decision next month. I hope that the justices because they will be working on some other cases, but one in particular, president s have to be given total immunity. They have to be allowed to do their job. Reporter later this month, trump will also spend six weeks in court, where he is charged with falsifying Business Records related to hush money payments to a porn star. Today trumps former cfo Allen Weisselberg pled guilty to two counts of perjury in the new york civil fraud case, but he will not testify against his former boss. Looking ahead to tomorrow, Top Republicans tell me they expect to have a strong showing on super tuesday, as he marches closer to the nomination. Allies of former ambassador nikki haley, tell me she will likely soon be at a Crossroads Of Whther she is going to stay in the race. Norah. Norah robert costa, thank you very much. For more analysis on that decision, lets bring in jan crawford. Jan, as was outlined, the court ruling was unanimous, but they also said that they did not agree totally. Explain. Reporter that happens with the issues. They agree with the outcome but different ways of getting there, and thats what we saw today. They said the same bottom line, Colorado Supreme Court was wrong and states cant kick donald trump off the ballot, but they disagreed with why, how they got there. And this is where it got interesting. The liberal justices use some very Strong Language suggesting conservatives were going to far, perhaps worried how their decision might be applied down the road. And then justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote a separate decision saying now is not the time to amplified disagreement with stridency. So you see this back and forth between the justices on an issue where they all say they agree. And why is that important . Because even where there is agreement, unanimous agreement like we saw today, this court was fractured. As some of these more controversial cases come down the road, including that one where trump is arguing he should be immune from prosecution, we can see this all play out where they dont agree on the outcome. Norah such important context, jan. I was reading that too, Justice Barrett writing the court should turn the National Temperature down, not up. Reporter good luck. Norah thank you.
