On Thursday morning, the Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments stemming from the state of Colorado banning former President Donald Trump from its primary ballot.
The Supreme Court does not allow for live video during its proceedings but allowed for live audio this time around. This wrinkle created the opportunity for news networks to alter their scheduled broadcasts and provide special live coverage for a case that could potentially have consequential ramifications beyond November’s election.
