In a significant legal development, the Supreme Court heard arguments today concerning former President Donald Trump's eligibility for the 2024 ballot. The court's justices appeared to signal their support for Trump's case, a decision that would have far-reaching implications across the country.
Trump's lawyer, Jonathan Mitchell, presented nuanced legal arguments focusing on whether Trump should be covered by the so-called insurrectionist ban. Mitchell argued that the events of January 6th, often referred to as an insurrection, did not meet the legal definition, but rather constituted a riot.
