Norma Anderson is the former House Majority Leader and Senate Majority Leader for Colorado's state house and a member of the GOP.
SCOTUS did exactly what I thought they would do. They kicked the issue back to Congress but didn't settle the questions of If (1), The office of the President of the United States qualifies for exemption under Section 3, and (2) If a criminal conviction is required for Congress to disqualify anyone under Section 3.

Even though everybody knew the outcome. President Biden is in shock today. Unwilling to speak. None of the liberals expected 9-0.

Lol, Thing # 1 got roundly trounced.
What do you mean? Did the SCOTUS ruling clarify whether or not the President of the United States is eligible for disqualification under Section 3? If they did, I must have missed it.
Thing # 2 is here to give it a go !
What does that mean? Did SCOTUS say that anyone must be criminally convicted of insurrection before they would qualify for the Section 3 disqualification?
Do you think, if Trump wins, Jan 6th will glide by without any objection problems in the Congress, and the Electoral College will decide our election, like it always does?

If I were one of those idiot judges in Colorado who passed the 'kick Trump off the ballot' ... I'd be embarrassed as all hell that the SCOTUS just overturned my ruling. It shows the morons in Colorado are biased and don't understand the Constitution.

That's not true.
The writing was on the wall since the day the court heard the arguments before them. On liberal MSN, SCOTUS scholars were practically weeping, seeing how the court reacted to the case before them. They spent these last few weeks talking their audience down from expectation of Trump not being on the ballot and encouraging people to vote, vote vote!

You didn't read the judgement, did you. It was not just kicked back to congress. A ruling was made. States do not have authority over federal offices, especially the office of president. It is a federal decision. Meaning...congress.

are you rooting for an insurrection? Because that's what happens when one side is angry and protests an election. Surely you aren't advocating for more trouble on Jan 6th....

The House of Representatives will decided this election on a simple majority.
On January 7th, I wonder if you will have the guts to show up? Time will tell.

I'm predicting it will happen, as pre-planned. This SCOTUS ruling sealed that deal, in my opinion.
The House of Representatives will decided this election on a simple majority.
Convince me I'm wrong.

I did read the ruling. I read the whole ruling. I haven't yet read what each justice thought.
I didn't see SCOTUS clear up the question as to whether the President of USA is an "Office" under the United States, as Trump's lawyers argued it wasn't.
I didn't see SCOTUS address whether or not a criminal conviction would be required. It did say something about Congress issuing some kind of writ, or declaration. ???
With these questions seemingly unanswered, it leaves congress members open to object to states' electoral votes being counted on Jan 6th, 2025. If that happens, like the Republicans wanted it happen last time, the election will be kicked to The House of Representatives. I think only a simple majority is needed for the body to decide, so, elections and resignations matter quite a bit, right now.
