The Supreme Court rules — unanimously — that Trump can remain on the Colorado primary ballot.

“Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.”

3 liberals: “The majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office…Today, the majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President”

Important from the Court’s three liberal justices:

“The American people have the power to vote for and elect candidates for national office, and that is a great and glorious thing. The men who drafted and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, however, had witnessed an ‘insurrection [and] rebellion’ to defend slavery. They wanted to ensure that those who had participated in that insurrection, and in possible future insurrections, could not return to prominent roles. Today, the majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President. Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section 3, we protest the majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of that provision. Because we would decide only the issue before us, we concur only in the judgment.”

Sotomayor, Kagan & Jackson note that Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch & Roberts are attempting to help Trump: “They decide novel constitutional questions to insulate this Court AND PETITIONER from future controversy.” (CAPS mine)

Bottom line: if insurrectionists and traitors must each individually be prohibited from holding high office by an act of Congress, insurrectionists and traitors are not actually constitutionally prohibited from holding high office.

Big day for insurrectionists and traitors!

From the Supreme Court ruling: “This case raises the question whether the States, in addition to Congress, may also enforce Section 3. We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to…

Yes the Supreme Court ruled for Trump based on only Congress having the power to enforce the 14th amendment

But just as important as what they did is what they didn’t do

They did NOT expressly challenge that he was an insurrectionist—& the concurrence emphasizes that finding

#SCOTUS has never bent over backwards to assist a Black criminal like they’re going to do for Trump today. Nullifying a provision of the Constitution meant to safeguard democracy is heady stuff & the fullest expression of their corruption & fascist capture that I can imagine.
