The justices will review a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that said Trump could be barred from the Republican primary ballot in that state, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruling is likely to have national repercussions, potentially setting guidelines that would determine how every other state would handle the issue.

The brief order said the case would be argued on an accelerated schedule on Feb. 8, indicating that a ruling will follow soon after.

    The one I’ve heard floated is not securing the border to their satisfaction somehow constitutes insurrection and since a lot of people have argued there doesn’t have to be any conviction or factual determination by a court it would stick just as well as the Jan 6th stuff against Trump.

      That just means every member of congress is an insurrectionist because they have just as much or more power to change that.

      It is not insurrection in either todays definition or the 14ths contemporary definition, and that would be slapped down.
