Supreme Court Decides Case First, But Is Now Trying to Make Up Rationalization for Its Decision

Court set to repeal part of the Constitution that it doesn’t want enforced.

So, the section of the Constitution which prohibits Donald Trump — and anyone who previously held office and then engaged in insurrection, or provided comfort or aid to those who did — from holding office, is going to be blocked from enforcement.

The Supreme Court seems poised to nullify Amendment 14 Section 3, using a bunch of weak justifications.

Here’s the text of that section:

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
