Supreme Court hears oral arguments in Trump ballot access case – 2/8 (FULL LIVE STREAM)

The Supreme Court hears oral arguments in a case determining whether former president Donald Trump’s name can appear on primary ballots in 2024. As the court weighs his eligibility to appear on the ballot, it also contends with a politically fraught question: whether Trump engaged in insurrection before and during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.

Colorado, the first state to use a post-Civil War 14th Amendment provision that bars insurrectionists from holding office, found the current GOP front-runner ineligible to serve as president. Trump faces 91 charges across four cases, two of which deal directly with his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
