A Gutless Court For Today's Pro-trump Promulgation

 SCOTUS today said that states can't keep federal candidates off the ballot.

I guess they said that the Fourteenth Amendment can't be enforced by individual states.

Does that mean that the Constitution in general is in abeyance?

But no; they have a Fourteenth Amendment solution.

They said, I guess, that Congress needs to write a new law every time a federal candidate might be guilty of being covered by the Fourteenth Amendment.

They were really careful not to indicate what the violation of the Fourteenth Amendment might have been asserted to have been in the case of donnie the dildo.

That gave them license not to address the screaming requirement for any SCOTUS ruling on the Colorado Supreme Court's unanimous decision to deny the dildo the Colorado ballot: did the dildo or did he not foment an insurrection?

Does the fact that one of the participating justices is married to an active unindicted participant in the insurrection have something to do with the frigid silence surrounding the nature of the actual asserted violation of the Constitution?

The Fourteenth Amendment says that if the dildo fomented an insurrection he can't run for president.

Or at least that's what the English of it seems to say.

However, to the originalist majority of SCOTUS, I'm sure there is some sort of secret code denied to most of us (like the cannons-tanks-machine-guns-and-unlimited-carry-in-the-town-square provision of the Second Amendment that is so obvious to so few of us).

Colorado says that the dildo fomented an insurrection, the Fourteenth Amendment says insurrectionists who have previously taken an oath to defend the Constitution can't hold office, and therefore the dildo can't run for president in the state of Colorado.

SCOTUS says that states can't say that.

SCOTUS also says that only Congress can enforce the Fourteenth Amendment via custom legislation.

I ask again, does that mean that the Constitution in general is in abeyance?

Until or unless Congress can arise from its multi-decade malaise and pass specialized Fourteenth Amendment laws?

Has SCOTUS today abrogated to Congress the power of policing and implementing the Constitution?

And where in the Constitution is that abrogation indicated?

Or is the current decision merely a one-off, US history to date?

Pretty well tailored for donnie the dildo.

Though.

Be afraid; be very afraid.
