Donald Trump filed a final brief with the Supreme Court ahead of oral arguments in his Colorado ballot case this week. Trump's lawyers argue he should remain on the ballot and call the efforts to remove him "anti-democratic." They claim Trump's potential presidency is different than the "officers" barred by the 14th Amendment. A group of Colorado GOP voters challenged Trump's candidacy due to his role in the January 6th insurrection. Trump's team disputes that he incited insurrection on January 6th or engaged in those activities.
