Supreme Court Agrees To Hear Trump Challenge to Ballot Ban On Fast Track
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Trump’s challenges to his ballot ban in Colorado, in an Order just issued, with oral argument on February 8.
TRUMP, DONALD J. V. ANDERSON, NORMA, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The case is set for oral argument on Thursday, February 8, 2024. Petitioner’s brief on the merits, and any amicus curiae briefs in support or in support of neither party, are to be filed on or before Thursday, January 18, 2024. Respondents’ briefs on the merits, and any amicus curiae briefs in support, are to be filed on or before Wednesday, January 31, 2024. The reply brief, if any, is to be filed on or before 5 p.m., Monday, February 5, 2024.
It doesn’t appear that the Maine ban is part of this case, at least not yet.
This “should” be an easy win for Trump. I’d be shocked if it turns out otherwise. What has been happening is no way to run a country.

This was the Question Presented in the Petitition for a Writ of Certiorari:
The Supreme Court of Colorado held that President Donald J. Trump is disqualified from holding the office of President because he “engaged in insurrection” against the Constitution of the United States—and that he did so after taking an oath “as an officer of the United States” to “support” the Constitution. The state supreme court ruled that the Colorado Secretary of State should not list President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot or count any write-in votes cast for him. The state supreme court stayed its decision pending United States Supreme Court review.The question presented is: Did the Colorado Supreme Court err in ordering President Trump excluded from the 2024 presidential primary ballot?
