TL;DR Summary

The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on whether Donald Trump can be kept off the ballot and is ineligible to be president again due to his involvement in the Capitol attack, based on a section of the 14th amendment. This case marks the first time the court will consider Section 3 of the 14th amendment, known as the insurrection clause. The dispute has prompted calls for Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself, and the parties involved do not align along predictable partisan lines. Trump is represented by lawyer Jonathan Mitchell, while the Biden administration's chief Supreme Court lawyer, Elizabeth Prelogar, is sitting out the case.
