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.

      Economically, yes, they’re identical capitalists. The right is more fascists and racist and awful. But the dems don’t fix anything when in power, which is why we’ve slid right for 60+ years. Dems = slow slide right, GOP = Fast slide right. Their paychecks are all signed by the same people, which is why their economic policies are nearly identical.
