Texas is not ignoring SCOTUS. The ruling stated that Border Patrol can remove the barriers. It did not require any action from Texas.

As for the case discussed in the article my best bet is the Supreme Court will rule as follows:

Congress must enforce this amendment. Since they have taken no action it is deemed that Trump is eligible to run.

“Section 5
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

IOW...they will punt.

Also, the statute does not apply to the office of the President.

And even if it did, Mr. Trump has neither been charged nor found guilty of insurrection.

Seriously, Cat. That’s a pretty irresponsible statement and Packis absolutely correct that it’s not true. Pack my marker is on 9-0.
Less certain on the narrow grounds, but the one I’m looking for is the one you’ve selected

Therefore, Trump is eligible to run

There is no such thing as "running" in the Constitution.
