Four Colorado voters have asked the Supreme Court to decide whether former President Donald Trump is constitutionally eligible to appear on the state's Republican primary ballot. The appeal follows Maine's Secretary of State barring Trump from running for the presidency under the rarely used Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The Colorado voters believe the case is of "utmost importance" and warrants quick action, as it revolves around the Constitution's insurrection clause and whether Trump incited the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The Supreme Court's decision could have a major impact on the Republican Party's future.

Since its passage, the U.S. government has spent roughly $1.2 billion each year on endangered and threatened species, with tens of millions of dollars going towards widely known animals.

California Secretary of State Dr. Shirley Weber has declined to remove former President Donald Trump from the state's presidential primary ballot, despite a call from the state's Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis. This is the first time a state has declined to remove a presidential candidate from the ballot under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the decision has been met with mixed reactions from the public. The U.S. Supreme Court is now tasked with making a clear ruling on whether or not Trump can still run for president after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows ruled on Thursday that former President Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the state's primary ballot in 2021 due to his role in the January 6th assault on the U.S. Capitol.

This ruling is part of a national effort to disqualify Trump from appearing on ballots in future elections, and it is unclear whether Trump will appeal the decision.
