Submitted by United States Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana
MADISONVILLE, La. (Mar. 4, 2024) – Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) released the following statement upon the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. Anderson, Colorado’s attempt to exclude former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential ballot:
“The Supreme Court is right to unanimously rebuke Colorado for trying to stop people from voting for President Trump. The Colorado court made its decision in bad faith, for political reasons.
“Protecting democracy means letting Americans vote for who they want.
“This is not Russia or China or countries whose Powerball jackpot is 287 chickens and a goat. This is America. We don’t use the courts to deny people the right to run for office or to deny our people the right to vote for their candidate.
“Today’s Supreme Court decision is a victory for the rule of law, the Constitution, democracy and common sense.”
