The Court holds that "[b]ecause the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse."

Supreme Court Reverses Colorado Decision

Duh.

[Sam Clements]

Looks like the Maine Secretary of State has much deserved egg all over smug face this morning.

[heartwood]

Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson:

Today, the majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President. Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section 3, we protest the majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of that provision. Because we would decide only the issue before us, we concur only in the judgment.

This case will clear the air of a lot of the garbage that is being thrown so that Trump can now concentrate on more important matters to win.

[Dan in Wichita]

Let’s see if the Dems in Colorado and elsewhere try to defy the SCOTUS ruling. No one should be surprised if they do.

[Michael.SF.]

Jackson, Kagen, Sotomayor have issued a joint concurrence.

[Leep]

Democracy!

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Oh, just darn. Now how are we going to stop Trump if all the lawfare goes belly up?

[CommerceComet]

I guess this means that the traffic court judge in Chicago can’t keep Trump off the Illinois ballot.

[gitmo]

The Dems are forced to let people vote.

But will they count them?

[dhs12345]

Well duh! Democrats don’t want to open that can of worms.

[Danie_2023]

Unanimous, as it should be. Oh happy day... and now we get to watch leftie heads explode. True Schadenfreude!

[ronnie raygun]

the bastardization of our laws will not succeed

[Grampa Dave]

Thank you to the Supremes and all the Freepers telling us what really happened and not so damn left wing mediots.

Smackdown Colorado!

9-0

[No name given]

The lefties won’t be happy, but too bad, so sad.

[bray]

Russia and N Korea are both Democracies too by the DNC’s definition.

[Jeff Chandler]

They will attempt to defy them just to annoy us, but in the end they will lose.

[HombreSecreto]

Also helps to put the kibosh on the other retards at the state level from attempting this stunt all the way up to Nov. Also I think sends a message to all appellate courts, “Don’t even think about it.”

[vetvetdoug]

Now lets execute the idiots that tried this in Maine, Colorado and Illinois. I want to see their body parts fed to the sharks.

[Yo-Yo]

Roberts got his 9-0 ruling on this case.

One wonders what he had to give up in order to get it?

Bump Stocks, maybe?
