Trump's Colorado appeal may force US Supreme Court to rule on his future (www.reuters.com)

Former President Donald Trump's appeal of a Colorado ruling barring him from the ballot may force the U.S. Supreme Court to weigh in directly on his 2024 election prospects, a case that legal experts said will likely pull its nine justices into a political firestorm.

That state was the first, followed by Maine, to rule that Trump was disqualified from seeking the Republican presidential nomination due to his actions ahead of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, an unprecedented legal decision that the nation's top court could find too pressing to avoid.

"I doubt that any of the justices are pleased that they're being forced into the fray over Donald Trump's future. But it seems to me that the court will have no choice but to face these momentous issues," said attorney Deepak Gupta, who has argued cases before the Supreme Court.

The justices, Gupta said, will have to act with "unusual speed and, hopefully, in a way that does not further divide our deeply divided land. That is a daunting and unenviable task."

making a ruling isnt giving up something. their job is interpretation and nothing more.

i think if youre expecting a 'he is' or 'he isnt' ruling from the supreme court, youre going to be disappointed. thats just not how they function.

You're saying they have the option to bump it down to the states. Then why did a lawyer say this?
