Vandaar ook de afwijkende opinie van de drie (vrouwelijke) rechters omdat de uitspraak niet alleen op Trump betrekking heeft maar op iedereen die aan de insurrectie deelnam.
Eigenlijk heeft SCOTUS dus niet de vraag beantwoord of Section 3 van het 14e Amendement van toepassing is op Trump, ze beantwoorden alleen de vraag of een staat dat mag beslissen
quote:
First, as Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law, has observed, "every case must begin in one state. Ultimately this is not a question of one state deciding so much as it is the United States Supreme Court looking at the facts and law - as courts always do - and deciding whether Section 3 disqualifies Trump."
Second, do the justices want us to believe that they are concerned about creating a "state-by-state patchwork"? Are you kidding me? What was the Dobbs decision, which dismantled a decades-old constitutional right to abortion in 2022, other than an explicit endorsement of a "state-by-state patchwork"? Within a year of Dobbs, 24 states had restricted access to abortion, while 18 states had moved to protect the right and access to abortion.
"States' rights!" scream conservatives - except Colorado! Except on this one issue!
