Not surprised at all! Bet Ginny Thomas is happy as a lark! Guess a good 9-0 vote is a little comforting! This means that voters must turn out overwhelmingly to defeat the Orange buffoon!

This was nothing short of a decision looking for any rationale seemingly plausible if at all.

Vote for and fully support Joe Biden; and, give him the congressional support he needs to rid us of this insanity.

Indeed, let’s keep,going….but the purposeful obfuscation of reality is discouraging.

Our consolation is that this INSURECTIONIST will never be elected President. I am sure of that. Not only this country, but the rest of the world do not want this monstrous specimen to be in the White House AGAIN

Sooooo, if the 'Less-Than- Supremes' have decided to ignore the Constitution, can the States then decide to ignore the 'Supremes'? At this point, I certainly don't see why not.

I don't know that I disagree with the idea that federal enforcement is intended by Paragraph 3. But why does it have to be by a law passed by Congress? Why not a suit by DOJ, or by a state or states in federal court?

6-3 I would have expected. But 9-0? What kind of Kool-Aid is “Taney” Roberts serving?

Congress has already determined by a simple majority that the Petitioner incited an insurrection. The House voted 232 to 197 on the articles of impeachment for insurrection, and 57 to 43 in the Senate voted to convict. It wasn't a big enough majority to impeach but certainly more than half. Why doesn't this count?

The Luther vs Borden case you shared "made it make sense" that SCOTUS is reluctant to rule on this, David.

OTOH, why was precedent so important here, and not for Dobbs? (Though I'm afraid I know the answer)
