A flurry of preparation is currently underway for the upcoming Supreme Court oral arguments regarding whether former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from the Colorado ballot. Colorado's Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, has officially taken a stand and is urging the justices to use the 14th Amendment as justification to disqualify Trump. Her legal team has been granted 10 minutes on Thursday to present their argument before the highest court in the land.
The primary message that Secretary Griswold aims to convey is that states possess the authority to prevent individuals who have taken part in an insurrection and broken their oath from appearing on the electoral ballot. It is anticipated that the Supreme Court may focus their questions on the interaction between state law and the Constitution, specifically examining how Colorado's election system and election laws are protected under the Constitution.
