Not knowing US constitutional law, it seems to me the SCOTUS decision might mean that the Dems missed an opportunity when they had the house
That it’s a federal matter seems legally predictable/natural to me, and that it then falls to congress to enforce then also seems natural.
What am I missing on that?
Otherwise, what would the Dems have had to lose by passing an act when they had the house? The 14th was right there.
You’re arguing something that is fundamentally not relevant.
Sorry. That’s not what the SCROTUS decision is about.
Stop it. You sound like a republican.
The scotus decision basically just says that Colorado can’t enforce the 14th on federal employees.
Their reasoning, if I understood it right is that:
They explicitly shied away from making a decision on that. (Probably since we all fucking saw it live on Jan 6.)
