Anderson v. Griswold decision from the Colorado supreme court that blocked the former president from appearing on the Centennial State's GOP primary ballot is an opinion shared by several other prominent legal experts. Last week, University of Baltimore School of Law professor Kimberly Wehle wrote that the Anderson decision was guided by the same "judicial conservatism" of originalism and textualism that numerous SCOTUS justices — including justices Trump appointed during his presidency — have used to guide their previous rulings.
"If the purportedly conservative members of the U.S. Supreme Court are intellectually honest about their jurisprudential approach to the law, this case should not be hard," Wehle wrote in an essay for The Atlantic. "For conservative justices to abandon that hierarchy now, on a case this consequential, would destroy whatever guise of impartiality the Court has left."
