came out late here on a friday on the deadline, granting a petition to hear this controversial, sweeping colorado case which, according to the state of colorado s courts, has tried to disqualify donald trump from being on that state s primary ballot. this is a big deal. here s what it means. donald trump currently will remain on that primary ballot because the supreme court will be reviewing that decision. and that ballot is being certified today. this is the friday night news because it s news on friday night, friday night was the deadline if you re wondering why this broke so late in the week. the supreme court has already decided, through this grant of serb 84ry, that they will hear oral arguments february 8th on this case. the nation s highest court is stepping in to hear a big election-related case in this 2024 race where, yes, people may be girding for, bracing for, a biden/trump rematch. what the supreme court is doing tonight, what it would argue it feels it has to do
