The justices largely focused on the impact of disqualification nationwide.

in the historic case Trump v. Anderson, each of the court's nine justices expressed skepticism that an individual state has the authority to deny a candidate for federal office from the ballot as an "insurrectionist."“Why should a single state have the ability to make this determination not only for their own citizens, but for the rest of the nation?” said Justice Elena Kagan.

Only Congress, it adds, can remove the disqualification by two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate. It does not spell out who gets to decide when someone has "engaged in insurrection" or how. The nation's highest court has never before examined the issue. Anti-Trump demonstrators protest outside the U.S. Supreme Court as the court considers whether former President Donald Trump is eligible to run for president in the 2024 election, Feb, 8, 2024, in Washington.While the counsel for Colorado voters challenging Trump's eligibility repeatedly raised details of the former president's efforts to overturn results of the 2020, the justices largely refrained from engaging with those facts or the merits of the Colorado ruling.

"The question of who can enforce Section 3, with respect to a presidential candidate -- the consequences of what the Colorado Supreme Court did, as some people claim, would be quite severe,” Justice Samuel Alito said.
