[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]States get to set rules for their elections.  However, the SC will not allow states to bastardize the Constitution to do so.

If Colorado wants to keep him off the ballot because of mean tweets go for it, but not because of the misapplication of the 14th amendment.  [/quote]

SCOTUS is trying to figure out how to thread this needle to get him back on the ballot without creating terrible precedent in the name of protecting an obvious criminal. The landmark decision they're about to make will be their legacy...putting an insurrectionist back on the ballot. And they're stuck.[/quote]

They don't need to thread any needle.  There is plenty for them to use to overturn the Colorado decision.... simply look at the arguments of the 3 judges (Democratically appointed, BTW) who dissented.  That's a start right there. [/quote]

Not really. Two of the three were making arguments about Colorado procedure over which the U.S. Supreme Court has no authority.

So you’re down to the lone justice who thinks the office of the President isn’t a federal office.

The conservative majority will have to forever abandon any pretense of their vaunted textualism if they want to force Colorado to put him on the ballot despite his oath breaking attempt to overthrow our government. [/quote]
