Unanimous decision predicted.

Eligible.

Concurring opinions from open minded liberal justices will be a good read for way which 14/3 could be applied

States’ Rights Absolutists will decide that States have no rights here, even though all election laws are state-based. And the SC’s Year 2000 Presidential interference in Florida was just a one-time thing.

According to previous filings by TGF, should not this have to go to a lower Federal Court first?

Appeal from a state supreme court goes directly to SCOTUS. Indeed, you can’t even get into the lower federal courts on such an appeal.

This. I predict that if the Court grants cert. many will express renewed outrage that it refused Jack Smith’s request. The Court is hypocritical and partisan about many things, but not in this instance. The comparisons aren’t apples-to-apples.

Lawyers doing what they do best. Charging more in an hour than some people make in a month for the privilege of throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.

So, is an “out” for the SCOTUS to boot this by saying that the 14th says an individual can’t hold office, but does NOT say that individual cannot run for office?

So, then having a month or so to determine if elected, but “ineligible,” whether or not he can take office. In the meantime they can continue to work on their contortions to make the political ruling they want to make.
