Former President Donald Trump is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking immunity from legal repercussions stemming from his conduct around the Jan. 6 Capitol incident.

His argument hinges on the claim that a former president cannot be subject to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which has led to his removal from the Colorado ballot.

Trump's immunity assertion is not limited to this case but also applies to various other legal challenges, including those related to the 2020 election and defamation issues.

The Supreme Court, with three justices appointed by Trump, is set to examine the appeal this Thursday, amidst a backdrop of legal experts' divided opinions over the case's implications.

The ruling will be pivotal, potentially establishing a legal precedent affecting future cases and influencing the discourse around the separation of powers and the upcoming elections.

Despite the controversy surrounding his claims, legal observers do not dismiss Trump's arguments as without merit, indicating the case's complexity and its serious consideration by the court.
