Former president Donald Trump’s attorneys formally requested on Wednesday that the US Supreme Court overrule the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision that disqualified him from appearing on the state’s 2024 ballot. Last month, the Supreme Court rejected Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request that the court make a “swift” and definitive ruling on whether Mr Trump can claim immunity for crimes he committed as president.
Both cases show the precarious situation the Supreme Court is navigating, after the court’s credibility took a massive hit with the Dobbs v Jackson decision that overturned Roe v Wade.
