Scalia–Ginsburg Colloquy to Addressed SCOTUS Hearing on Trump Ballot Disqualification

The third Scalia–Ginsburg Colloquy featured a discussion of Trump v. Anderson, in which the Court considered on February 8 whether the former president’s actions prohibit him from seeking re-election.

Lisa Marshall Manheim, Charles I. Stone Professor of Law at the University of Washington School of Law, and Derek T. Muller, Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame Law School, presented both sides of the issue.

The Colloquys follow the example set by the strong friendship between the late U.S. Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—a friendship as legendary as their sharp disagreements on the bench. It brings together distinguished scholars for a series of substantive—yet civil—discussions of both sides of important legal issues.

Adam J. White, Co-Executive Director of the law school’s C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State, moderated the discussion. White is a constitutional and administrative law expert and former clerk for Judge David Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

The Colloquy was held online from 5:00-6:30 p.m. EST on Wednesday, February 28.
