It might be shocking to the denizens of Democratic Underground, but for so many of us in the real world, the USSC overruling the Colorado Supreme Court on Trump and the ballot was never in any doubt.
Here, direct from the source, is the ruling against Colorado and in favor of Trump:
Since it is an election year, sure the Court had to make a quick ruling. The thing that might shock some on the left was this was a unanimous decision, not just a Leonard Leo-sponsored decision.
"This case raises the question whether the States, in addition to Congress, may also enforce Section 3. We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office. But States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency."
In other words, this is a separation of powers issue.
