asking the court to actually review the determination of the colorado supreme court, affirming the ruling of the district court, that trump did engage in insurrection. now, i suspect the court will not grant sert on that question, that they will probably resolve the question on the issue of whether he s an officer under section iii and whether or not the section is self-executing. if they were to rule against trump on those two legal questions, then they actually would have to reach the question of whether he engaged in insurrection. i suspect that he raised those issues on appeal because he also wants to be contesting those determine neighs. and the colorado republicans didn t contest those. it s remains to be seen whether the court will grant krert on those additional questions and whether they will reach them if they take the case and how they resolve it. elliott, the former president s attorneys are arguing the so-called insurrectionist ban doesn t apply to the presidency and sec
