(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a case involving whether former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from the 2024 election under a constitutional provision barring anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding public office.

The justices rejected an appeal by John Anthony Castro, a Texas tax consultant who has mounted a long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination, of a lower court’s finding that he lacked the legal standing to sue seeking Trump’s disqualification under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Castro has cited Trump’s actions relating to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by the then-president’s supporters as insurrection.

This might not be the final time the Supreme Court is asked to weigh in on the subject. Other litigation on the 14th amendment and Trump is still playing out in lower courts. [ Source (Read More…) ]
