What a nitwit. What if Tennessee or Alabama declared that Slow Joe was leading an insurrection and invasion by opening the border and moved unilaterally to keep him off the ballot. Would that be okay with you, Jena?
BTW, Federal law says that the _President_ declares when an insurrection is taking place, not a state court in Colorado.
Unanimous = “Bitch Slap.”
When you get those nine folks agreeing on anything, the decision’s statement should end with, “...and you are stupid for thinking otherwise.”
Here is the conclusion of the ruling.
For the reasons given, responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand.
All nine Members of the Court agree with that result. Our colleagues writing separately further agree with many of the reasons this opinion provides for reaching it. See post, Part I (joint opinion of SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, and JACKSON, JJ.); see also post, p. 1 (opinion of BARRETT, J.). So far as we can tell, they object only to our taking into account the distinctive way Section 3 works and the fact that Section 5 vests in Congress the power to enforce it. These are not the only reasons the States lack power to enforce this particular constitutional provision with respect to federal offices. But they are important ones, and it is the combination of all the reasons set forth in this opinion—not, as some of our colleagues would have it, just one particular rationale—that resolves this case. In our view, each of these reasons is necessary to provide a complete explanation for the judgment the Court unanimously reaches.
The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court is reversed.
The mandate shall issue forthwith.
It is so ordered.

9-0 is exactly right
OMG THANK YOU SCOTUS!!! There comes a time when the laws of this nation can NO LONGER be ignored, I have to say I am VERY PROUD of the leftist justices they are seeing how out of control their side has become!!
Who would have thunk that it was illegal to brand someone as a criminal, repeat it ad nauseum, and then take them off ballots because of the propaganda they started?
I am shocked that the “wise Latina” and the “I’m not a biologist” concurred in this decision
BTTT
Jena Griswold: “oh, well. i tried.” ...
Thanks!
Time to give Colorado the Bud Light treatment
