"Choosing a President: How the Electoral College Works"
Twenty-seven states have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court, urging the court to keep former President Donald Trump on the Colorado ballot.
You can read the brief here:
File 697067200-Indiana-West-Virginia-Amicus-Brief.pdf
Attorneys general in the states of West Virginia, Indiana and multiple other states argued in the filing that declaring Trump an "insurrectionist" under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution would have "vast consequences that reach far beyond Colorado."
In deciding that former President Trump
engaged in insurrection, the Colorado court fashioned
a definition of “insurrection” that is standardless and
vague. The best available evidence suggests that
insurrection equates with rebellion—a more
demanding standard than the Colorado Court settled
on. But what constitutes insurrection is not a question
courts should answer at all.

The Court should grant the Petition to
erase a standardless political judgment
about what constitutes “insurrection.”
