decide who becomes the next president and not courts. georgetown law professor michele goodwin says the case hinges on the question of whether the insurrection clause applies to the office of the president. this is a highly unusual case because we've not been presented before with the backdrop like january 6, donald trump's political fate could be decided by this case, but he isn't expected to be here at the supreme court for the hearing, though, his allies across the street at the capitol are jumping to his defense. they cannot beat. >> president trump. >> and an actual free and fair election. so they are tryirg to rig the game. >> and the courts, colorado congresswoman lauren boebert slammed her state's effort to keep trump off the ballot. absolutely absurd. completely un-american, completely unconstitutional. and congressman matt gaetz says he thinks the high court will side with trump. our expectation is that the court will not embrace the anti democratic impulses that we've seen elsewhere. we don't know when the court will issue its ruling, but there is pressure to resolve the case by early
