The justices ruled that the 14th Amendment did not allow Colorado to bar the former president from the state’s primary ballot. The justices offered different reasons, but the decision was unanimous.

I wouldn’t say federal authority prevailed either, because they essentially neutered the entire clause by denying that it’s self executing (like age or being a natural born citizen). That means even if someone is convicted of an insurectionist act, the federal courts can’t touch it, only Congress can. It’s a dumb decision.
