The 14th Amendment case and Trump's disqualification from the ballot
Today at the Supreme Court, a case is being heard that argues that the 14th Amendment should block Donald Trump from appearing on the ballot. The argument is that Trump's behavior and role in the January 6th insurrection fit the ban on people who have incited insurrection from holding office. While the legal case is novel and unprecedented, the argument is not complex. It simply relies on reading the text of the Constitution and applying it to Trump's actions.
