United States Supreme Court expedite Colorado Ballot hearing

The United States Supreme Court will hear one of its most consequential cases in recent history. Former US president Donald Trump's appeal against his disqualification from the Colorado primary ballot. The justices agreed to expedite the hearing of Mr Trump's case, scheduling oral arguments for February 8. The court's verdict will set the precedent for other state decisions on the former president's eligibility to run again. In his appeal, Mr Trump's lawyers said the January 6 Capitol Riots, which he is accused of inciting, did not constitute an insurrection under the 14th Amendment.
