US Supreme Court justices skeptical of disqualifying Trump from ballot

U.S. Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical toward a judicial decision kicking former President Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado for participating in an insurrection during the 2021 Capitol attack.

The nine justices were hearing Trump’s appeal of a Dec. 19 ruling by Colorado’s top court to disqualify him from the state’s Republican primary ballot under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment after finding that he participated in an insurrection.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars from holding public office any “officer of the United States” who took an oath “to support the Constitution of the United States” and then “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

The case has major implications for the Nov. 5 U.S. election, with Trump the overwhelming frontrunner for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden. Read more.

Why foreign workers are not shielded by federal whistleblower laws

If you work overseas for a U.S. company, you might want to think twice before you step forward to report corporate wrongdoing. Alison Frankel looks at the latest federal circuit decision to conclude that whistleblower protections in Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley don’t extend to workers based overseas – even if they deal with U.S. customers and rely on the company’s U.S. computer network.
