Trump’s eligibility for the presidential ballot is in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court. The 9 justices heard arguments in the case of “Trump vs Anderson,” an appeal from a Colorado State Supreme Court ruling that bars former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the “Insurrection Clause” of the 14th Amendment. Trump’s lawyer says the law does not apply to the former president, while Colorado’s Secretary of State says electing an insurrectionist could allow him to “dismantle democracy from within.”
