There appears to be an opinion that SCOTUS will overturn the Colorado Supreme Court ruling banning Trump on the Republican primary ballot. See article above.

“They will be reluctant to wrest from voters the power to assess Mr. Trump’s conduct, particularly given the certain backlash that would bring. Yet they will also be wary of giving Mr. Trump the electoral boost of an unqualified victory in the nation’s highest court.

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. will doubtless seek consensus or, at least, try to avoid a partisan split of the six Republican appointees against the three Democratic ones.

He may want to explore the many paths the court could take to keep Mr. Trump on state ballots without addressing whether he had engaged in insurrection or even assuming that he had.”

assuming this to be true, what is the reasoning they will use? I since justices can issue different opinions while ruling the same way, I will use the UNION of reasonings to resolve.

If you want me to add an answer, let me know. I don’t want this to be a free for all and let everyone add answers.

resolves as N/A if they knock him off the ballot

if they use a reasoning not listed here, all will resolve to NO.
