China News Service, February 7 (Xinhua) According to Bloomberg, on the 8th local time, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider former President Trump’s appeal against Colorado’s election ban ruling. The ruling disqualified Trump from the state's presidential primary.
According to reports, at 10 a.m. local time on the 8th, the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, where conservatives make up the majority, will hear an 80-minute oral argument, but the debate time is expected to be longer.
The report mentioned that three of the nine justices on the Supreme Court were appointed by Trump when he was president.

As previously reported, on December 19, 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court judges ruled by a 4 to 3 vote that Trump participated in inciting the "Capitol Hill riot" on January 6, 2021, and in accordance with the Third Amendment of the Fourteenth Amendment, Article 11: Anyone who has sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States but has subsequently rebelled or rebelled is not allowed to hold public office. Therefore, Trump is not eligible to hold the office of president.
On January 3, 2024, Trump appealed the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision. Subsequently, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Trump’s appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court.
Singapore's "Lianhe Zaobao" pointed out that the controversy surrounding the rebellion clause in the US Constitution is expected to be the key to Trump's return to the White House. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of Trump, efforts in many places across the country to remove him from the ballot will be in vain. If Trump loses, the momentum will intensify and raise new questions about his eligibility to run.
