    Good quote:

    The point of the Disqualification Rule embodied in Section 3 and its application to the 2024 presidential election are unmistakable: It would
    be unforgivingly foolish to allow a presidential candidate who knowingly
    and purposely betrayed the Constitution, his country, and his office the opportunity to engage in the same treacherous conduct a second time
    around. So thought the framers of the 14th Amendment and the people of
    this country who approved it in 1868.

    When SCOTUS was asking questions, several were dodging the bullet by directly/indirectly suggesting only Congress could kick this can, and
    states had no business in this matter.

    In other court cases, SCOTUS will come to a conclusion (judgment) if congressional intent was violated.

    It's the conservative judges call, and if they side with the orange
    clown, its bullshit rhetoric. Suggesting only Congress can put out a
    fire is nonsense.
