evidence: What the 14th Amendment says about whether Trump can be on the ballot This week the Supreme Court considers its most consequential case involving a presidential election since Bush v. Gore in 2000. Officials in both Colorado and Maine have ruled that Donald Trump is ineligible for their ballots because he violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment — by engaging in insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021. The Supreme Court will review the Colorado decision, with oral arguments set for Thursday. (Maine has effectively put its own case on hold as it awaits a ruling on Colorado.) [...] The burden in the case that the Supreme Court takes up this week appears to lie with those who would remove Trump from the ballot. Trump could avoid this outcome even if he succeeds on only one of the several relevant questions. From there, a big question is what the ruling would mean for the 2024 election.
