Former President Donald J. Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to keep him on the primary ballot in Colorado, appealing an explosive ruling from the state Supreme Court declaring him ineligible based on his efforts to overturn the 2020 election that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The move adds to the growing pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to act, given the number of challenges to Mr. Trump’s eligibility and the need for a nationwide resolution of the question as the primaries approach.

    Don’t forget one of his lawyers is testifying that they made fake electors to bring and lie to steal the presidency. Which paints the reason Trump turned on his VP. Pence found out, and did his job/duty to his country. He stood up and made sure Trump couldn’t stop the Presidential transition. Pence had shit views on very many things, but there is a good chance he will go down in history for not being a coward when his back was put up against the wall. He may be the one who ends up with a statue for “saving america” one day.
