US Supreme Court to Determine if Donald Trump Will be on Ballot | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US Supreme Court held a first-of-its-kind hearing, as the justices will determine if former president and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should be kept off the ballot because of his role in the January 6th, 2021 insurrection. The case centers on Colorado's ballot and how the outcome could impact the presidential election nationwide. Section three of the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment, passed after the Civil War, got a modern-day test today before justices of the Supreme Court. Former President Donald Trump's attorney argued that the law is clearly on their side, and Trump cannot be kept off the ballot because he never participated in the riot. Trump's attorney contends January 6th wasn't an insurrection, and even if it was Trump never participated. Lawyers for Colorado voters disagree. Several Republican senators showed their support on the Supreme Court steps.
