Asm. Evan Low Statement on Supreme Court’s Hearing of Oral Arguments in Trump v. Anderson, Colorado Case

SACRAMENTO— Assemblymember Evan Low (D-Silicon Valley) released the following statement upon the conclusion of the Supreme Court of the United States hearing oral arguments in the Trump v. Anderson, Colorado case:

“Today the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments in the Trump v. Anderson, Colorado case as to whether or not the 14^th Amendment applies to candidate Donald J. Trump as my colleagues and I had requested last September. Disappointingly, but perhaps not unsurprisingly, the Justices appeared to in their questioning ignore the basis for Trump’s ineligibility – the insurrection then-President Trump fomented at the ellipse on January 6, 2021, in order to stop the peaceful transfer of power and thwart the 2020 Presidential election results – but, ultimately, our nation awaits their ruling on the legal questions at hand. Regardless of their ruling, there still are pending criminal cases in the District of Columbia, Florida, and Fulton County, Georgia, as well as the eventual outcome of the 2024 Presidential election, as critical measures to hold insurrectionist Trump accountable to the American people.”
