The Supreme Court of the United States is more political than ever. In just its most recent term, the Court has — led by a 6-to-3 conservative majority — overturned a major precedent for administrative agencies, granted broad immunity to the office of the president and drawn criticisms for the alleged corruption taking place among its Justices.
In a historic case, the United States Supreme Court will decide whether or not presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump is eligible to remain on the 2024 ballot due to having “engaged in insurrection.”
The implications of this particular case are massive — according to Mount Holyoke College President and noted legal scholar Danielle Holley, “We are facing … probably three major Supreme Court cases all surrounding the 2024 election, and many think that Trump v. Anderson is the most consequential election case since Bush versus Gore in 2000."
