The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Thursday in a case considering whether or not Donald Trump can be removed from the ballot in Colorado because of his role in the Jan. 6th insurrection. Most of the justices, including a number of the liberal justices, seemed convinced by at least one argument from the defense: that an individual state can't disqualify candidates in a national election without Congress specifically granting them that power. We’re joined by Melissa Murray, professor of law at NYU and co-host of Crooked’s Strict Scrutiny podcast, to learn more about the hearing and what comes next.And in headlines: a Special Counsel report into President Biden’s handling of sensitive government documents cleared Biden of committing any crimes, the FCC said that it’s immediately outlawing robocalls that feature AI voices, and a high school football team from the town of Lahaina is headed to the Super Bowl this weekend.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastNFL Films Lahainaluna Football Documentary - https://www.espnhonolulu.com/2024/01/04/watch-nfl-films-lahainaluna-football-documentary/Luna Strong Fundraiser - https://www.downtownathleticclubhawaii.org/luna-strong/Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/
