TL;DR NY Times predicts trump will remain on the ballet and the ruling will likely have a very narrow basis in hopes of achieving unanimous consensus from the court.

    Any due process right an insurrectionist has to appear on the ballot is vitiated (or not) by the administrative legal process for ballot access provided by each secretary of state’s office.

    The notice and opportunity to be heard was the notice provided by the secretary of state’s office when it made the rules implementing the state’s ballot access statutes.

    The right to due process during the adjudication of that decision is vitiated (or not) in the administrative appeals process which usually begins within the agency and ends in the state’s appellate courts and at SCOTUS.

    Due process is what Trump is getting right now by bringing legal challenges.

      I find this a compelling argument. Thank you. It would be really silly to argue before SCOTUS that you’ve been denied due process.
