"Supreme Court Signals Skepticism in Trump Ballot Removal Case"
TL;DR
The Supreme Court heard arguments on whether Donald Trump's actions on Jan. 6 should disqualify him from appearing on Colorado's ballot, focusing on an obscure provision in the 14th Amendment. Justices expressed concerns about the power of states in enforcing the Insurrection Clause and whether it applies to the presidency. The case is seen as a lose-lose situation for the court, with a decision expected soon due to approaching primary election deadlines.
