For those who are confused by the Supreme Court’s decision, you should be. The majority decision ignores the plain language of the 14th Amendment Section 3. Please watch the full video. I go over the opinion of not just the majority but also by Justice Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson (Democratic appointees) who agree with me and probably you that the Supreme Court majority got it very wrong by saying Congress needs to pass legislation to declare a disqualification. They said they were writing “in protest” of the majority opinion by the right-wing justices. You have every right to feel betrayed by the Supreme Court ruling, but I am simply trying to let you know what the majority said and why it was met by a scathing response by the remaining justices. The Supreme Court interprets the constitution and until this bad ruling is overturned, this is the precedent. Unfortunately, if you answered differently, you would get the answer wrong on my law school exam.
