Section 5, the closing of the 14th Amendment:

“The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

Oh.

Congress, not Scotus, not the states were to enforce the 14th.

My reference to SCOTUS, was not a reference to enforcement of the 14th but for them to make a ruling, brought to them on appeal, on any state that tried to block Trump from being on the ballot.

Tour point is a good one though because SCUTUS could ask: which federal law was enacted under the 14th to enforce Taft statement.

But, and it has been said before: what the left really want to do is create confusion and keep Trump off the ballot
