The Supreme Court may have just tipped its hand in a case stemming from a Donald Trump appeal, and some experts have called it "completely inappropriate."
Numerous reporters flagged a Supreme Court notice on Sunday that has been described as "really unusual" and "curious."
In doing so, according to political and legal scholars, SCOTUS is likely saying it will take on Trump's ballot case on Monday. The former president was found by the state of Colorado to be ineligible to run for office based on his participation in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

Lawrence Hurley, Supreme Court Reporter for NBC News, reported the following:
"The Supreme Court website is now saying there will be rulings tomorrow," he wrote Sunday, including an image of the notice. "With Colorado's primary taking place on Tuesday, it would seem quite likely that they will decide the Trump ballot eligibility case."
He added: "Based on oral arguments it seemed very unlikely the court would kick Trump off the ballot."
Steve Vladeck, a legal scholar and University of Texas Law School professor, reported the development with a little extra commentary:
"SCOTUS just updated its website to flag that it 'may announce opinions' Monday at 10 ET. It's *really* unusual for the Court to give such little notice—or, outside of when things were closed for COVID, to not take the bench."
"Colorado ruling is very likely coming tomorrow," he added.
Norm Eisen, who served as one of the impeachment lawyers for House Democrats and as White House ethics czar, had a warning:
"If it turns out to be true that the court is issuing the 14A opinion tomorrow—& [Vladeck] is a guru here—it's completely inappropriate."
"Why pick the day before Super Tuesday to give Trump a likely big judicial win?" he asked. "It's like an in-kind campaign contribution!"
