The Supremes dodged their responsibility to enforce the Constitution and
ban the Dump from holding any federal office.  Instead they say it is up
to Congress of enforce the 14th Amendment Section 3. Presumably by
disqualifying the Dump from office.  But Section 3 already assigns a
role to Congress; they can remove the disqualification due to
insurrection by 2/3 vote.  That clearly implies that it was NOT up to
Congress to disqualify anyone.  It makes no sense that a
disqualification could be removed by the body that just voted it into
existence.

The Supremes are in the tank for the Dump.  The only way out now is to
roundly defeat the Dump at the polls and counter and suppress the
violent protests of MAGAts between Nov and...? Feb 2025?  He'll also be
in courts during this period trying to get state Repug legislatures to
invalidate the elections results that favor Joe and send their own
electors.  This may be the end of the United States as we've known it.

That is a very good point.
