Supreme Court to Hear Arguments on Trump's Eligibility
Case Could Eliminate Some Federal Protections
Arguments Scheduled for Tuesday
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Tuesday in a case that could have significant implications for the presidency. The case centers on whether or not a former president can be sued for actions taken while in office.
The case was brought by the state of Colorado, which is seeking to hold former President Donald Trump liable for his role in the January 6th Capitol riot. Trump has argued that he is immune from such lawsuits, citing the "speech or debate" clause of the Constitution.
The Supreme Court's ruling in this case could have a major impact on the future of presidential immunity. If the Court rules in favor of Colorado, it could open the door to lawsuits against former presidents for actions taken while in office.
The arguments in the case are scheduled to begin at 10:00 AM EST on Tuesday, March 4th. The Court is expected to issue a ruling in the case by the end of June.
