TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump warned of "chaos and bedlam" if efforts to disqualify him from the presidential ballot are not swiftly ended, as he faces a potential exclusion from the Colorado ballot over his actions related to the Capitol violence. Trump has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a Colorado court decision, arguing that it threatens to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Trump's lawyers argue that the provision doesn't apply to former presidents and that he did not engage in insurrection.
