Vivek Ramaswamy praised the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling against Colorado’s removal of Trump from the 2024 ballot, emphasizing the importance of national unity and the future unity of the country.
He highlighted potential implications of the liberal justices’ concurrence, suggesting they are preparing for future Trump-related cases.
“I do think that this is not just about President Trump, but about the future unity of our country itself. And the Supreme Court, 9-0, came down on the right side of that question,” Ramaswamy said.
Ramaswamy also discussed the court’s focus on institutional legitimacy and the long-term consequences of attempts to exclude Trump from the ballot.
“What you see from the liberal justices is – the three of them did swing over for the 9-0 unanimous ruling here, but they say other actors in the federal government, even outside of Congress, could have had that authority anyway,” he said.
“I think they’re buying themselves some leash for going in a different direction in some of those other cases,” he added.
Ramaswamy noted that the liberal justices’ agreement did “plant seeds for them potentially going a different way in future cases that are coming down the pike.”
The justices said the court’s “majority [went] beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section III [of the Fourteenth Amendment] can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President.”
“Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section III, we protest the majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of the provision,” they wrote.
“[It could be] undoing what we set this country into motion in 1776: That’s a monarchy, not a democracy – where one autocrat, one monarch, one individual gets to decide who the people can and cannot elect,” Ramaswamy said.
“We the people settle our differences at the ballot box, able to vote for whoever we want, where every person has a voice and a vote in that democratic process,” Ramaswamy added.
