SCOTUS, in a brief order, agreed to take on Trump’s Colorado ballot disqualification suit seeking to invalidate Colorado’s ruling. This was all but inevitable and SCOTUS will move quickly having scheduled oral argument four weeks from now on February 8th. It’s not hyperbole to say that this case will be one of the most important cases in our history. Within the next week I will publish a primer about the many vitally important issues that will be raised in this case, matters of both state and federal importance.
