Trump supporters participate in a rally in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021, that some blame for fueling the attack on the U.S. Capitol. On Thursday, Feb. 8, the nation's highest court is scheduled to hear arguments in a case involving Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding office. The case arises from a decision in Colorado, where that state's Supreme Court ruled that Trump violated Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and should be banned from ballot. (AP Photo/John Minchillo)

One of the biggest election-related cases in decades will come before the Supreme Court on Thursday. Justices will hear oral arguments about whether former President Trump can be excluded from the Colorado ballot because of his role in the January 6th insurrection. University of Pennsylvania Law professor Kermit Roosevelt walks us through the case and the constitutional issues at stake.


The hit Broadway musical Mrs. Doubtfire opened Tuesday at the Academy of Music, with a real-life South Philly husband and wife in the leading roles. We’ll talk with two-time Tony-nominee Rob McClure, who plays Daniel Hillard and Mrs. Doubtfire, and Maggie Lakis, in the role of Miranda Hillard.
