Washington, D.C. — Florida Congressman Daniel Webster, R-Clermont, along with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), over 130 other House Republicans and over 40 Senate Republicans today filed a Supreme Court amicus brief supporting President Trump’s appeal in the case Donald J. Trump v. Norma Anderson, et al.
 
“The Colorado Supreme Court has no authority to remove Donald J. Trump – the leading Presidential candidate – from the ballot in the 2024 presidential election,” said Rep. Webster. “I am confident that the U.S. Supreme Court will reverse this disastrous decision. It is the American people who decide who is elected President, not liberal activists.”
 
The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing in trump v. Anderson whether former President Donald Trump should remain on the ballot in the State of Colorado, after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that he should be removed, even though he is the leading presidential candidate for the Republican Party. The members argue in their brief that “the Colorado Supreme Court’s opinion tramples the prerogatives of members of Congress.” They also argue that the court’s ruling is a clear display of the court’s willingness to ignore the Separation of Powers authorized by the U.S. Constitution. It is the role of Congress to pass legislation authorizing enforcement of Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, otherwise called the “disqualification clause”. The legislators urge the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision and protect the powers vested in Congress.
