"Supreme Court's Role in Trump's Legal Battles Sparks Controversy"
TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that states cannot prevent candidates for federal office from running based on claims that they are insurrectionists, but in doing so, unleashed new questions about the enforcement of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. The decision raises uncertainty about whether Congress could refuse to count electoral votes for Trump and what would happen next, leaving open the possibility of a confusing post-election season. While some legal scholars see value in the decision, others believe it could lead to extraordinary chaos and prompt more litigation.
