RE: Rice Quad Supreme Court / Legal Decisions Thread
The Supreme Court opinion in Trump v. Anderson was released just minutes ago. The only thing I know about it is that it was unanimous.

From https://www.scotusblog.com

"The court reversed the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s primary ballot on the grounds that he participated in insurrection. 'Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse'."

Link to the full opinion:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23...9_19m2.pdf

Based only on the SCOTUSblog summary, this seems like a classic case of a Supreme Court decision coming down not to the ultimate substantive question ("Is Trump eligible to be President?"), but to the jurisdictional question of who can make that call and and one what basis -- just as in the Dobbs v. Jackson case on abortion.

Sadly, I think we can safely predict that, also as in Dobbs v. Jackson, this essential understanding of the role of a judiciary will be lost on the commentariat, especially on the most gleeful and most angry segments of it.
