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."

Marbury v Madison addressed an issue which was not spelled out in the Constitution: who is the final arbiter of what is Constitutional.
This decision is simply saying states have no authority to decide federal election qualification. Very common sense. Plain.
An extra little sparkle in sun glinting snow surrounding the house this morning! 👍. Kinda surprised it was a 9-0.
Dems will fume...lol...
Now get rid of Willis and her bootlickers...
9-0 hmm interesting. I thought Jackson and the dumb Latina might go the other way. There’s a reason
About damned time.

What happens when half of the states remove Biden and half Trump. How can we have a legitimate national election with this absurdity. It is only fair that Biden be removed from the ballot if Trump is removed.
But we need to call the leftist judges bluff. It would end up kicking them in the arse because they would be blamed for Civil War.
These judges need to be kicked in the arse to think that they could do it and maintain legitimacy. The country as a whole needs a good kick in the arse.
It’s time to say it: the US supreme court has become an illegitimate institution

The ruling won’t stand. It will be thrown out on appeal at the DNC convention because the Supreme Court is illegitimate.
They have to protect the institution; if they had allowed this crazy case to stand, it destroys the predictability, uniformity and reliability that any fair judicial system must rest on. I didn’t agree with what happened to Nixon, but he could not have defied the 9-0 ruling that he had to turn over the tapes; otherwise, we have chaos in society and the economy.
Colorado Supreme Court should resign in shame over this and their continued harassment of private businesses and the BLTGQWXYZ nonsense.
Bu-but the traffic judge in Illinois disagrees!
Great question! It would be fitting to bounce this issue right back to the same states that promoted this nonsense.
No.
Willis decision should come sometime next week.
It’s really a 5-4 decision in every way except the result.
Read the “concurring” opinions.
They clearly left the door wide open for other, more sophisticated ways to deny Trump another term.
Perhaps a state court will rule like Hawaii’s SC, that they simply read the words of the 14th Amendment ‘differently’.
IOW, S@ck it, Colorado (and NY and all the other leftist states).
All it did was prove that the Colorado judiciary is not worth sh!t. I will remember this whenever they make future ruling.
They lost a lot of credibility by playing this stupid dangerous game.
They didn’t reverse anything. They trounced an illegitimate finding.
While I’m glad to see this, my take is that the eligibility issue should never have become such a crisis to come before the Supreme Court.
Why would there not be paid moles or alphabet agencies here trying to disrupt? Especially during an election year.
