Supreme Court oral arguments Thursday could shed light on what’s at stake for Congress in a case about a Colorado decision to bar Donald Trump from appearing on the state primary ballot based on the 14th Amendment.
The justices last month agreed to take up the issue but did little to clarify which of the numerous legal arguments might ultimately shape their opinion in an historic election dispute.
Several possible decisions could leave Congress with an opening to weigh in on Trump’s eligibility, legal experts say, including the possibility of a partisan showdown as Congress counts electoral ballots in January 2025.
