    The hearing in Colorado starts today and runs for the rest of the week.

    They're starting early - 8am Mountain time, which if I got it right is 10am Eastern and 2pm GMT. (It's a week where UK is off daylight savings time but USA isn't, which is damn confusing.)

    There should be a live stream somewhere (probably at least on CNN, as they were named in the court order). I've threadmarked this post and will put a link here if and when I find links to a stream or livetweets/liveblogs.

    Brandi Buchman is covering for LawCrimeNews
    Roger Parloff not doing a full live tweet, but keeping an eye on it on Twitter

    Streaming on Webex here - BY COURT ORDER YOU MAY NOT RECORD OR REBROADCAST THIS (I don't know how this works)
    Also on CSPAN here.

    (and Thursday we got the Minnesota hearing as well!)

    Colorado Supreme Court just ruled 4-3 that Trump is disqualified from the Colorado presidential primary ballot.

    Ruling is stayed until January 4th to allow SCOTUS to possibly review. If SCOTUS does want in, Trump's name will stay on the ballot since 1/5 is the deadline for Colorado ballots. If SCOTUS does not rule on review by then, he's out.

    Oral arguments today in SCOTUS starting 10am Eastern.

    Seems like pretty well everyone is carrying the live audio feed. I will be listening on C-SPAN here, as they're apparently good at identifying who is speaking.

    Later in the day there will be a transcript on the SCOTUS site here.

    Links to key briefs:
    17 Jan 2024 - Colorado Republican State Central Committee brief (not an officer, not self-executing, holding office not seeking it, 1st amendment)
    18 Jan 2024 - Donald J Trump brief (I was not an officer and I didn't do it, honest)
    26 Jan 2024 + Anderson respondents brief (Trump engaged in insurrection, applies to Presidents, courts may adjudicate)
    31 Jan 2024 + Jena Griswold brief (Co SoS: Colorado's rights and duties and law)
    5 Feb 2024 - CRSCC reply
    5 Feb 2024 - Trump reply

    Interesting amicus briefs:
    18 Jan 2024 * Akril & Vikram Amar amicus brief (fascinating historical replay from 1860!)
    18 Jan 2024 * Foley, Ginsburg, Hansen amicus brief (states may resolve this, perilous situation that SCOTUS must resolve on merits)
    18 Jan 2024 * NAACP amicus brief (SCOTUS, do your duty and do not mess up again like you did before)
    26 Jan 2024 + Profs Orville Burton et al amicus brief (historical perspective, covers the President, no Congressional action needed)
    29 Jan 2024 + American Historians amicus brief (historical perspective inc. Jefferson Davis)
    29 Jan 2024 + Judge Luttig et al amicus brief (powerful and densely argued, well worth reading)
    30 Jan 2024 + Prof Kermit Roosevelt amicus brief (policy concerns don't justify setting aside the constitution, anti Griffin's case)
    31 Jan 2024 + Experts in Democracy amicus brief (fascinating and chilling international comparisons)
