RE: The national temperature will most certainly go up for certain groups......trust me
Precisely. The national temperature should not be the primary concern of any court decision because INTRINSICALLY, anty decision the SCOTUS makes will cause disatisfaction and anger in one group.
The decision should be based on LAW and the Constitution.
That’s why I am left with an uneasy feeling with Justice ACB’s writing. Nothing in her statement mentions law or constitution at all. It’s all based on calming the political climate.
ACB clearly references her full agreement with the arguments on the law and the constitution that states lack the power to enforce Section 3 against Presidential Candidates.
“I join Parts I and II–B of the Court’s opinion. I agree that
States lack the power to enforce Section 3 against Presidential candidates. That principle is sufficient to resolve this case, and I would decide no more than that. This suit was brought by Colorado voters under state law in state court. It does not require us to address the complicated question whether federal legislation is the exclusive vehicle through which Section 3 can be enforced.”
“I am left with an uneasy feeling with Justice ACB’s writing. Nothing in her statement mentions law or constitution at all. It’s all based on calming the political climate.”
Agree 100%. That is a horrible basis for jurisprudence and rulings from SCOTUS.
