Quick Glance: Trump asserts freedom of speech as protection against 'insurrection' cases to prevent his candidacy
- Attorneys for former President Donald Trump argue that an attempt to exclude him from the 2024 ballot under a rarely used clause of 'insurrection' in the Constitution should be dismissed as a violation of his freedom of speech.
- The lawyers have made this argument in a filing published by a Colorado court on Monday, which represents one of the most significant challenges to Trump's candidacy under the clause of the 14th Amendment from the Civil War era.
- Trump will also argue that the clause does not apply to him because 'the Fourteenth Amendment applies to someone who was involved in insurrection or rebellion,' not to someone who merely 'instigated' an action,' Blue wrote.
- A second liberal group, Free Speech For The People, has also submitted a challenge to Trump's candidacy in Minnesota, which is scheduled to be heard by the state's Supreme Court on November 2.
