This is turning out to be a game of hot potato where no one wants to be the one who is deemed responsible for keeping Trump off the ballot. Reading the 14th Amendment, it’s clear as day that he is no longer eligible to become president, seeing how he led an insurrection and all.
But everyone who is in a position of authority to do something about it (save for the 5 justices on the Colorado Supreme Court) is too scared to step up. Instead, they keep passing the potato along, hoping that someone else will do something about it.
I hate to say it, but I’m sure the Supreme Court is going to pass the potato as well. They’ll say “the enforcement mechanism of the 14th Amendment isn’t clear, so it’s up to Congress to determine if someone is in violation and must be kept off the ballot.” That final pass of the potato back to Congress will be what kills the whole issue.
