(St. Paul, MN) -- The Minnesota Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a lawsuit that could keep former President Trump off the state's presidential ballot.
Attorneys representing a group of Minnesota voters will argue today that Trump is ineligible to run for office because of a clause in the U.S. Constitution. Section Three of the 14th Amendment disqualifies anyone who has supported or incited insurrection.
The lawsuit claims Trump did that through his words and actions ahead of the January 6th, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump's attorneys want the lawsuit dismissed on First Amendment and other grounds.
