There's a 'solid basis' for Supreme Court to keep Trump off ballot: legal expert

SCOTUS has plenty to rule Trump violated the Constitution and bar him from seeking a second presidential term, according to a legal scholar.

"Donald Trump did engage in serious conduct," Norm Eisen said during an appearance on CNN. "There is a solid basis for them to adjudicate that he violated the 14th Amendment and does not belong on the ballot."

So far, both Colorado and Maine have determined that Trump shouldn't be able to run in their states' GOP primary election for violating the Civil War-era Section 3 of the 14th Amendment that reads: "No person" shall hold any office if they have "engaged in insurrection or rebellion."

The 45th president is attempting to undo the disqualification decisions on appeal.

But it is becoming more and more likely that the Supreme Court may end up being the ultimate decider to determine the Don's fate with regard to his legitimacy to run given the 14th Amendment issue as well as his claim that as POTUS he's immune from criminal prosecution over his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of mostly supporters stormed the Capitol to halt the certification of the 2020 election.

On Tuesday, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows did everything but advertise for the highest court's intervention.

"We would very much welcome guidance by the Supreme Court," she said on CNN's "The Situation Room."

But SCOTUS swooping in to save the day is no sure thing.

"You never know what the Supreme Court is gonna to do," he said. "You have both sides asking for review in the Colorado 14th Amendment case and you also have the question of whether Donald Trump is immune or not."

He did say that a convicted former president is likely to be a major game changer if Trump were able to remain in the White House contest; in some polls he pointed to a 14 point swing against him.

"The American people understand the difference between allegations and findings," he said.
