The U.S. Supreme Court will hear emergency arguments in the Trump v. Anderson case on Thursday, after the Colorado state Supreme Court removed Donald Trump from the state ballot.
Other states have since followed suit, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which declares that no officer of the Constitution can serve if he or she has engaged in insurrection against the United States government. The lower court in Colorado ruled that Trump was guilty of insurrection after attempting to thwart the peaceful transfer of power after losing the 2020 election and encouraging a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The court opens at 10 a.m. E.S.T. but they have some business to navigate in other cases prior to hearing the case. Those will not be live-streamed. An audio feed is available because the U.S. Supreme court has declined to allow cameras in the courtroom.
