Listen Later

There's been much conversation about Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and whether it can be used to keep people who engaged in the January 6th insurrection off the ballot. Lindsay Langholz speaks with Donald Sherman and Nikhel Sus from CREW  about their lawsuit aimed at keeping Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado. They discuss the ruling of the trial court and look ahead to the December 6th oral argument before the Colorado Supreme Court.
