[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving it up to Congress is a total chick-s**t move. [/quote]

It’s literally section five of the amendment.[/quote]

Interesting how the lack of enforcement legislation wasn’t an obstacle when the republicans on the court wanted to strike down affirmative action because it violates the 14th amendment.  [/quote]

Exactly. SCOTUS has cut the cake both ways throughout history on this one.  As much respect as I have for the highest court in the land, this one feels very political. [/quote]

Repeat after me: 9-0.[/quote]

Actually in this particular point it’s 5-4.  You’d know that if you read the case.  Barrett, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson wrote concurrences saying they disagreed with this part of the majority opinion.[/quote]

"All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.
The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court is reversed. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
It is so ordered."

Try reading the whole thing next time:
"Although only an individual State’s action is at issue here, the majority opines on which federal actors can enforce Section 3, and how they must do so. The majority announces that a disqualification for insurrection can occur only when Congress enacts a particular kind of legislation pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. In doing so, the majority shuts the door on other potential means of federal enforcement. We cannot join an opinion that decides momentous and difficult issues unnecessarily, and we therefore concur only in the judgment."[/quote]
