This is why SCOTUS made sure that Trump can't be removed after the election either unless this was enforced by Congreff.I will also point out, that Section 3 bars people from holding office. It says nothing about being on the ballot.

NO SIR!!It's possible, for example, the S.C. could rule that Colorado may not keep Trump off the Party's Primary Ballot, leaving the question of his qualification for the National ballot in the Fall for the future.
WRONG AGAIN!!Any individual can initiate through the lower state courts. And I see no reason at all that disqualification under the 14th Amendment could not have originated in the Federal district courts.
A MISS IS AS GOOD AS A MILE!!Section 5 does NOT give sole power of enforcement to the Congress. Of course using Section 5 to again give Congress the authority it already has to enforce the Constitution is superfluous. Congress has had, since 1789, the power to see to it, via legislation if necessary, that our laws are enforced. Section 5 is redundant.
Obviously the only, prima facie interpretation of Section 5 that can be naturally invoked, without artifice, is as clear as Section 3. I.e., Congress has the same power they normally have to enforce our laws. Their is no indication that other Federal and State Bodies, do not also have power of enforcement via their own respective means... Every State's Governor takes an oath to support BOTH the States Constitution and the Federal Constitution.
you gotta agree this was bullshit tho:Supreme Court says Trump can appear on 2024 ballot, overturning Colorado ruling
look at all the wannabe lawyers backtracking now ....
It's not a new rule------and Trump didn't commit insurrection. He wasn't even charged with it.
This comment aged very well and seems prophetic.Yeah, well, unfortunately for those "legal experts" they are TSOL, because Trump did not engage in insurrection or rebellion himself, but rather his followers did. All Trump did and has been doing was give a speech crying about the results, and that suggests simply resistance on his part. Not one of these "legal experts" has brought forth any case law that proves otherwise.
That 14th amendment shit is gonna' get overruled in the Supreme Court, because nothing will stick to that man. He's your 47th Prez folks. Deal with it.
