Politico: “After years of dodging Donald Trump-related questions, the Supreme Court is now facing the most consequential one of all: Is he an insurrectionist who is barred by the 14th Amendment from running for president?”

“Directly answering either ‘yes’ or ‘no’ would spark white-hot political fallout for an already embattled court.
