The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments Thursday as former President Trump’s lawyers appear before the justices in an attempt to knock down lawsuits challenging the Republican front-runner’s ballot eligibility under the 14th Amendment.
The justices will hear from three attorneys during the argument. In order, they are:
Jonathan Mitchell, representing former President Trump.
Thursday is Mitchell’s sixth Supreme Court argument, according to Oyez.
A former clerk to the late Justice Antonin Scalia, Mitchell previously served as Texas’s solicitor general and is viewed as the architect of Texas’s controversial abortion law, SB8.
Jason Murray, representing the plaintiffs.
Jason Murray (L), the lead attorney for the Colorado voters in the lawsuit, walks past anti-Trump demonstrators outside the US Supreme Court on February 8, 2024.
Murray, a partner at Olson Grimsley, is set to make his Supreme Court argument debut on Thursday, representing six Colorado voters who challenged Trump’s ballot eligibility in the state.
Murray was previously a law clerk for Justice Elena Kagan, and he also clerked for Justice Neil Gorsuch when Gorsuch served on a federal appeals court.
Shannon Stevenson, representing the Colorado secretary of state.
Stevenson, Colorado’s solicitor general, is also set to make her Supreme Court debut.
She previously worked in private practice at Davis Graham & Stubbs.
