Fuck yeah, let’s go crazy! This case is going to be wild. So basically, the Supreme Court is going to decide if Donald Trump can be kept off the ballot for the 2024 presidential elections due to his attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss. They need to make a decision quickly because people will start voting soon. This case is important because it involves a provision of the 14th Amendment that says some people who “engaged in insurrection” can’t hold public office. Colorado’s Supreme Court already said that Trump shouldn’t be on the Republican primary ballot, but Trump is appealing that decision. Some Democrats want another justice to step aside from the case because his wife supports Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results. Trump wants the court to overturn the Colorado ruling without even hearing arguments, and he argues that the insurrection clause doesn’t apply to the president and that Congress must act, not individual states. The justices have previously declined to quickly take up and rule on Trump’s claims that he is immune from prosecution in a case charging him with plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election, but this issue could come back before the court soon. Let’s get ready for a wild ride!
