"Supreme Court Decision Looms Over Trump's Eligibility for 2024 Ballot"

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on Monday on former President Donald J. Trump’s eligibility for Colorado’s primary ballot, which will likely determine his eligibility to run in the general election. The decision may have implications for other states where Trump's eligibility has been challenged. This marks a rare direct involvement of the Supreme Court in a presidential contest since Bush v. Gore in 2000. The ruling is anticipated to resolve whether Trump can appear on the Colorado primary ballot and whether he is eligible to run in the general election, with indications suggesting he may prevail. Additionally, the court is also considering a separate case on whether Trump is immune from prosecution for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2020 election results.

"Supreme Court Case: Trump's Eligibility for 2024 Election"

The US Supreme Court is set to hear a case determining whether Donald Trump is eligible to run for president in 2024, based on allegations that his conduct during the January 6 Capitol attack disqualifies him under the 14th Amendment. The court's decision could have far-reaching implications for the upcoming election, with Trump's lawyers arguing against disqualification and the Colorado voters contending that no one, not even a former president, is above the law. This case represents the court's most direct intervention in a presidential election since Bush v Gore in 2000 and comes amid declining public confidence in the court.

"Challengers Urge Supreme Court to Keep Trump Off 2024 Ballot Due to Jan. 6 Riot"

Voters challenging Donald Trump's eligibility to run for president again argue that he engaged in insurrection and should be barred from the ballot based on the 14th Amendment. They assert that Trump's attempts to sidestep his role in the Capitol attack are political rather than legal, and emphasize that the insurrection clause is designed to prevent oath-breaking insurrectionists like Trump from wielding power again. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Feb. 8, and the case has drawn significant attention and support from various parties.

"Nikki Haley Confronts Trump's False Attacks and Presidential Eligibility"

Nikki Haley dismisses Donald Trump's false suggestion that she's not eligible to run for president due to her parents' citizenship status, stating that Trump resorts to name-calling when he feels threatened. Trump has repeatedly referred to her by a mangled version of her birth name and promoted false "birther" claims about her eligibility. Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, remains focused on her campaign and downplays Trump's attacks, while the candidates intensify their rivalry ahead of the New Hampshire primaries.

"Trump's False Birther Claims Against Nikki Haley Spark Outrage"

Former President Donald Trump has resurfaced false and racist birther conspiracy theories by questioning Nikki Haley's eligibility for the presidency due to her parents' citizenship status at the time of her birth, despite her being born in the United States. This tactic mirrors his previous claims about Barack Obama and Ted Cruz. Trump's own eligibility is also being challenged in several states under the 14th amendment, as he faces legal battles over his citizenship and potential disqualification for inciting insurrection.

"Trump Spreads False Birther Claim About Nikki Haley's Citizenship"

Donald Trump is promoting a "totally baseless" birther conspiracy theory against Nikki Haley, claiming she is ineligible to be president because her parents were not U.S. citizens when she was born. Legal experts and scholars have refuted these claims, citing the 14th Amendment and the definition of "natural born citizen." Trump has a history of propagating birther claims, previously targeting Barack Obama and Ted Cruz. The resurgence of this conspiracy theory against Haley is seen as an attempt to play the race card and draw on anti-immigrant prejudice.

"Examining the 14th Amendment's Impact on 2024 Election Eligibility"

The disqualification of former President Donald Trump from the 2024 election ballot in several states hinges on whether the U.S. Supreme Court deems the president as an “officer of the United States” under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Legal experts are divided on this issue, with some arguing that the president is covered by the amendment's prohibition, while others disagree, citing the appointments clause in the Constitution. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case on Feb. 8, and the outcome could have significant implications for Trump's eligibility to run for president in 2024.

Colorado Supreme Court Bars Trump from 2024 Primary Ballot for Role in Capitol Attack

The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that former President Donald Trump is disqualified from serving as U.S. president and cannot appear on the primary ballot in Colorado due to his role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. This historic ruling, likely to be taken up by the U.S. Supreme Court, makes Trump the first presidential candidate deemed ineligible for the White House under a constitutional provision that bars officials who have engaged in "insurrection or rebellion" from holding office. The ruling applies only to Colorado's Republican primary but could impact Trump's status in the state for the general election. Trump plans to appeal the decision, and the Colorado court has delayed its effect until at least January 4, 2024, to allow for an appeal.

Colorado Supreme Court Examines Trump's Eligibility for Presidency

The Colorado Supreme Court heard arguments on whether former President Donald Trump is barred from holding office again under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which disqualifies individuals who engaged in insurrection against the Constitution after taking an oath to support it. Several justices expressed skepticism towards arguments made by Trump's lawyer, including the core argument that Section 3 did not apply to the presidency. The court is hearing an appeal of a ruling that ordered Trump to be included on the Colorado primary ballot. The lawsuit was brought by Republican and independent voters who seek to keep Trump off the ballot.

California Lawmakers Seek Court Ruling on Trump's Eligibility

Nine California lawmakers, all Democrats, have asked the state's attorney general to seek a court opinion on whether former President Donald Trump should be excluded from Republican primary ballots under the 14th Amendment. The lawmakers argue that Trump's actions before and during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, disqualify him from holding office. They believe that seeking a court opinion is a more expedient and constitutionally sound approach compared to unilateral action by secretaries of state. The outcome of the court ruling, if pursued, would likely be appealed and potentially reach the Supreme Court.

"Republican Candidate Hutchinson Questions Trump's Eligibility for Presidency"

Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson suggests that former President Donald Trump may be disqualified from holding office due to his alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection. Hutchinson points to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who engaged in insurrection from holding government office. Legal scholars have also argued that Trump's eligibility is in question. Hutchinson expects lawsuits to be filed and some states to take action, potentially putting Trump's qualification under the Constitution at serious jeopardy. However, Hutchinson is polling at just under 1% and is far behind Trump in the GOP race.
