The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear a case that seeks to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot in 2024.
Oct. 2 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear a case that seeks to remove former President Donald Trump from the ballot in 2024.
The high court, which started a new term Monday, shot down a case brought by John Anthony Castro. The longshot Republican presidential candidate argues that Trump is not eligible to be on the ballot due to his involvement with the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Trump is considered the frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
Castro cites Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a Civil War era provision that was used to bar former members of the Confederacy from holding office
It hasn't hit the lower courts yet.
Yeah, they just said they won't hear it, not that they'll allow him.
Besides, it'd probably be better if it happens right before the 2024 general election, at the point it'll be too late to remove his name from the ballot and all his idiot followers will still cast their vote for him despite being disqualified.
