SCOTUS Hears Trump Colorado Ballot Case
The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
The Constitution is clear when it comes to the consequences of inciting an insurrection, and when majorities in the Senate and House in 2021 moved forward with Trump's second impeachment, he was officially designated as an insurrectionist. So a third Trump run for America's highest office will place the US' democratic value system in potentially irreversible danger.
Pro-Trump narrative
Despite the best attempts of political and legal conspirators, Colorado's antidemocratic attempts to remove Trump from its ballot will likely crumble under the scrutiny of SCOTUS. The case is but another in a long line of illegitimate attempts to undermine Trump's road to the White House via a weaponization of the justice system.
