The justices will review a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that said Trump could be barred from the Republican primary ballot in that state, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruling is likely to have national repercussions, potentially setting guidelines that would determine how every other state would handle the issue.

The brief order said the case would be argued on an accelerated schedule on Feb. 8, indicating that a ruling will follow soon after.

    That just means every member of congress is an insurrectionist because they have just as much or more power to change that.

    It is not insurrection in either todays definition or the 14ths contemporary definition, and that would be slapped down.

      Ok? They aren’t trying to actually have it be upheld, they’re trying to highlight the farce in Colorado.

        Is it a farce, though? Isn’t more like they want to make it a farce, just like how they are trying to make impeachment a farce?
