dmmA 4-3 decision to disqualify you-know-who from the primary ballot.
"The court stays its ruling until January 4, 2024, subject to any further appellate proceedings."
Now he-who-must-not-be-named has a choice whether to appeal this in Federal courts, but a loss there might result in a wider disqualification.
People can enjoy reading a 213-page decision, but the gist of it is pages 6-9 (pages 7-10 of the PDF file).
