The case raises a novel legal question under a constitutional clause that prohibits those who have "engaged in insurrection" from serving in the federal government.

The justices will review a decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that said Trump could be barred from the Republican primary ballot in that state, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruling is likely to have national repercussions, potentially setting guidelines that would determine how every other state would handle the issue.

The brief order said the case would be argued on an accelerated schedule on Feb. 8, indicating that a ruling will follow soon after.

    I’d kill for proportional representation and the option of a left NON-capitalist party. The neolibs’ only real difference from GOP is that they’re not racist and less fascist.

    A Socialist party would be incredible. And though I’d not vote for a communist party, I wish we had one just to balance the national discord.
