The Supreme Court announced it will not take up a case that sought to disqualify Trump from running for president in 2024.
The case was brought by John Anthony Castro, a tax consultant and long-shot candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, who argued that Trump should be disqualified from running under thedue to his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, riot on the U.S. Capitol. Castro cited a provision in the Civil War-era amendment that states American officials can't hold office if they"engaged in insurrection or rebellion" or had"given aid" to insurrectionists.
Former President Donald Trump speaks speaks at a campaign rally on September 27 in Clinton Township, Michigan. The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said it would not hear a case that challenged Trump's eligibility to run for president in 2024.Castro had requested the high court hear his appeal after a lower court in June found his case lacked legal standing, but the Supreme Court justices announced the case was denied without any comment or recorded vote.
"A primary candidate has judicial standing to bring a claim challenging the eligibility of a fellow primary candidate for competitive injury in the form of a diminution of votes and/or fundraising if the primary candidate believes that the fellow primary candidate is ineligible to hold public office and to prevent actions irreconcilable with the U.S. Constitution," Castro wrote in his petition to the Court.
In early September, the nonpartisan group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington also filed a legal challenge that said the insurrection provision in the 14th Amendment should block Trump from appearing on the presidential ballot in Colorado if he wins the GOP nomination for 2024. "If the very fabric of our democracy is to hold, we must ensure that the Constitution is enforced and the same people who attacked our democratic system not be put in charge of it," CREW President Noah Bookbinder said in a statement announcing the Colorado challenge."We aren't bringing this case to make a point, we're bringing it because it is necessary to defend our republic both today and in the future.
