TL;DR Summary

Jason Murray, a Denver lawyer, and Shannon Stevenson, the solicitor general of Colorado, will argue against Trump's eligibility to run in Colorado, while Jonathan Mitchell, a prominent conservative lawyer, will argue on behalf of Trump. Murray, a Harvard Law School graduate, will make his Supreme Court debut, drawing on his expertise in the historical record around the ratification and implementation of the 14th Amendment. Stevenson will defend Colorado's authority to exclude a candidate from its ballot if deemed ineligible by the state's courts. Mitchell, known for his work on a restrictive Texas abortion law, has advanced the argument that only Congress, not courts, can kick a candidate off the ballot under the insurrection clause.
