Donald Trump’s Making a Plea to the Supreme Court.
Obviously, he wants to stay on the ballot.
We’ve all heard about Donald Trump’s legal issues. The four indictments have been at the top of the news cycle on a regular basis from the very beginning. Of course, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that the issues stemming from his indictment in relation to his involvement with the January 6th riot have landed the former President’s problems in front of the Supreme Court. As he fights to get reelected, the states of Colorado and Maine taking him off the ballot is now being examined by the highest court in the land, and Trump has decided to weigh in with a final written argument.
John Fritze with CNN writes:
“Former President Donald Trump on Monday urged the Supreme Court to keep his name on Colorado’s ballot, accusing his challengers of pursuing an “anti-democratic” legal case against him, in the final written argument he’s expected to make before the justices hear oral arguments in the case this week.
“He is the presumptive Republican nominee and the leading candidate for President of the United States,” Trump’s attorneys told the Supreme Court in the brief. “The American people — not courts or election officials — should choose the next President of the United States.”
