Takeaways from Trump's Supreme Court win: He stays on ballot, but his legal peril is just starting

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : A TIME BOMB FOR JAN. 6, 2025?One possible outcome that the case presented was the prospect of unelected judges disqualifying the man dominating who has already received hundreds of thousands of votes in the nominating process.
50% : Monday was a win Trump needed to continue his campaign, but his days in court are far from over.
44% : Two more cases are more likely to come later - in Atlanta where Trump faces state charges for his 2020 election plot, and in Florida where he's tentatively scheduled for a May trial on improper retention of classified documents after leaving the presidency, but the trial date is expected to be postponed.
35% : But it may open the door to further electoral uncertainty, exposing more state officials to disqualification under the provision and setting up a constitutional showdown should Trump win the election.
33% : Had the Supreme Court had let the Colorado ruling stand, it could have triggered a new wave of litigation that might have left Trump disqualified in many states.
31% : Here are some takeaways:A TECHNICAL, BUT STILL BIG, WINThe most significant thing the court did Monday was to overturn a Colorado Supreme Court ruling from December that Trump was not eligible to be president because he violated the insurrection clause, Section 3, of the 14th Amendment.
30% : TRUMP'S LEGAL TRAVAILS AHEADFew observers expected the Supreme Court to keep Trump off the ballot.
28% : The high court avoided addressing that politically contentious issue of whether Trump played a role in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that would have barred him from seeking office.
26% : The first disqualification under Section 3 in more than a century came in 2022, when a New Mexico court removed Couy Griffin, who was convicted of entering the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 while leading a group called "Cowboys for Trump," from his rural county commission.
26% : The group that brought that case, Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington, next filed the Colorado case against Trump.
24% : The ruling is almost devoid of references to Jan. 6 or insurrection, and doesn't address whether Trump committed such an act by sparking the attack on the Capitol.
