Jackson and liberals have tough questions for challengers: Another sign that the court was leaning toward Trumps position: Even some of the liberal justices posed difficult questions to the lawyers representing his challengers.
Notably, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, a Joe Biden nominee, said that the 14th Amendment provision did not include the word president, even though it specifically listed other officials who would be covered, such as members of Congress.

Justice Elena Kagan questioned the implications of a single state banning a candidate in a presidential election. Why should a single state have the ability to make this determination not only for their own citizens, but for the rest of the nation? Kagan asked.
