Being in uncharted territory as things often are with Trump, the Colorado Supreme Court had to construe the meaning of certain words/phrases in Section 3 of the 14th Amendment before it could apply Colorado law, and SCOTUS certainly has the final say as to what the U.S. Constitution says/means. That includes the question of whether Section 3 is self-executing or whether it requires an act of Congress (which act is not currently on the books). Then there are other issues like the applicability of the First Amendment and whether due process was afforded.

The decision is loooooooong. There are many moving parts (and plenty of uncharted territory), and thus many avenues available for SCOTUS to overturn it, if it is so inclined. They'll do a simple up-down vote, and then the majority will figure out why later. My understanding is that the part of the state's election code that allowed this case to be brought is basically unique to Colorado, so the Court could affirm but effectively limit the scope of its decision to the application of the specific Colorado law at issue.

Seems simple enough to figure out in 2.5 weeks when they need the GOP primary solidified.

Someone should sue to take him off the ballot in Kansas.

You joke, but I guarantee Republicans are going to get Biden removed from ballots. Dems are giving each other hand jobs over this symbolic ruling that will, at best, certainly not help them in the long run.

I think our supreme court would probably remove him.

The idea that this is a slippery slope seems improbable. You would have to have a court that is bold face corrupt to fit any other modern president into the same ruling, imo.

Unfortunately, I find Heaven even more improbable for me(atheist).  If you are right on both accounts, though, I will buy you a beer for sure.

Not just that. You need a state election law that allows it, and likely need a jury (maybe judge) to determine the law disqualifies the person. Not to mention there are always going to be laws disqualifying people, it’s just very rare that the disqualified person could theoretically win a major party’s primary in the state if they weren’t disqualified.

If it’s a slippery slope to anything it SHOULD be to finally get to a popular vote. But republicans love gerrymandering too much to start calling for that.

I loved that her arguments in the comments were basically either “then don’t buy it” or “burkas.”

It's what happens when you have 12 months to fill and only 10 REAL American Women to put in there.

Told them to get vaxxed three years ago.

On another note, since it’s kind of related, the fascination around the Epstein list is annoying and gross as crap.

The gross part is how many people only are interested by the daxian potential of scoring political points instead of actually having any concern for justice.
