TL;DR Summary

Arguments have begun in a Colorado court regarding efforts to use the "insurrection" clause of the U.S. Constitution to prevent former President Donald Trump from running for president again. The hearing focuses on whether the Capitol attack on January 6th meets the constitutional definition of "insurrection" and whether Trump's role qualifies for disqualification. The lawsuit, filed by a group of Colorado voters, argues that Trump violated his oath and disqualified himself from holding public office. The case is one of two lawsuits that could potentially reach the U.S. Supreme Court, with oral arguments scheduled in Minnesota later this week.
