"Challenges and Controversies Surrounding Trump's Ballot Eligibility"

TL;DR
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Trump v. Anderson, a case questioning whether Colorado was right to remove Trump from the ballot due to his role in the January 6 insurrection. Trump's legal arguments, including the claim that the president is not an "officer of the United States," are weak and unlikely to sway the Court. His lawyers also attempt to revive a dangerous legal argument previously rejected by the Court. Despite the 6-3 Republican supermajority, it remains uncertain how the justices will rule.
