In Trump v. Anderson, the U.S. Supreme Court shut down the Leftist movement to exclude Trump from state ballots in the 2024 Presidential Election. All nine justices agreed with reversing a 4-3 Colorado Supreme Court decision that excluded Trump from the Republican primary ballot there (that decision was stayed pending review by the U.S. Supreme Court).
A conservative-liberal divide arose on the scope of the ruling. The majority decision, published "per curiam" but probably penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, went further than what was necessary to decide the case. The three liberal justices squawked about that in a joint opinion, probably written by Justice Elena Kagan, and wanted to leave open the possibility of the federal government disqualifying Trump from office even if the states cannot exclude him from the ballot.
