Supreme Court Takes 2024 Election Case: What You Need To Know
Late Friday afternoon, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the lawsuit regarding the Colorado Supreme Court’s removal of President Donald Trump from the ballot. The Justices’ decision will have major ramifications for the 2024 election.
It’s vital to know the important details involving the biggest Supreme Court election case in history. Here is what you need to know.
Because the Supreme Court has granted review, President Trump will remain on the Colorado primary ballot until the Justices reach a final decision.
The case is moving quickly, but I believe the high Court has established a helpful timeline for the case to be properly decided. The case will appear before the Justices on February 8 for oral argument.
The ACLJ is representing the Colorado GOP in this 14th Amendment case at the Supreme Court, and we filed a petition for certiorari in late December. President Trump’s legal team filed a similar appeal to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court’s outrageous decision to deny voters the right to vote for the candidate of their choice.
After our reply brief, the Justices granted review of the President’s appeal and listed the Colorado GOP as a party to the appeal. We found out this morning that the ACLJ will be filing an opening brief in 10 days.
Then we will file a reply brief on February 5 – our final brief in the case. In conjunction, we expect multiple amicus briefs to be filed in support.
In our briefs, we give the Supreme Court as many avenues as possible to rule in preserving the voting rights of Americans. Some of the Justices will be more interested in different aspects of the Constitution – we want to speak to all their perspectives. Read here why the far Left’s twisting of the 14th Amendment is outrageously unconstitutional.
The far Left is already starting to attack the Supreme Court Justices, and more attacks will be coming. For instance, Rep. Adam Schiff (CA-30) said this over the weekend:
If you’re skeptical about this court, there’s good reason to be skeptical. They’ve shown they’re not a conservative court – they’re not a court that feels bound by precedent. They are a reactionary court. They’re a partisan court, and here one of the Justices . . . has a . . . close family member or spouse who had a role in trying to overturn the election.
The far Left and mainstream media will do everything they can to taint the credibility of the Justices – just as they did when the Justices rightly overturned Roe v. Wade.
We are confident in our abilities to win this Supreme Court case, but we can’t be presumptuous enough to assume that we automatically win. We have to go in with the mindset that we likely have two Justices who agree with us from the outset. That means we need to convince three more Justices to side with us.
Otherwise, the biggest election interference in U.S. history will commence. Maine’s Secretary of State has already removed President Trump from the ballot – an avalanche of other states will follow suit based on the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling.
We can’t allow this to happen. This is where you come in. You can help fund our legal efforts to stop this judicial emergency. Become an ACLJ Champion and become a monthly donor to the ACLJ. We need you now more than ever.
