In a relatively brief, 13 pg opinion, accompanied by one concurrence from Justice #AmyConeyBarrett & another from the 3 #liberals on the bench, the court decided that the #Constitution leaves the question of #Trump’s disqualification to #Congress. [bullshit]
“Responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders & candidates rests w/Congress & not the States,” the Court ruled.
The ruling brings one of the most prominent efforts to hold #Trump accountable for his attempt to stay in #power after losing the #2020election to an end. #SCOTUS, in oral arguments & in its Monday opinion, went out of its way to dodge the question of whether that attempt — which culminated in the #Jan6 storming of #Congress — constituted an #insurrection.
