Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was on CNN on Monday to react to the 9-0 SCOTUS decision to put GOP frontrunner Donald Trump back on the Colorado primary ballot.
Raskin is already working to “revive legislation” to go after Trump again.
“I’m working with a number of my colleagues including Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Eric Swalwell to revive legislation that we had to set up a process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” Raskin said.

The SCOTUS released its ruling on the Trump ballot decision Monday morning.
“We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office,” the ruling said. “But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency.”
“For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States,” the ruling said. “The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand.”
