Long but worth reading. A lawyer who is confident that SCOTUS will overrule the Colorado Supreme Court - because a majority will want to and because Trump need only win on one of multiple issues - but can't find an obvious path for them to do so. An admirably non-partisan take (and the non-partisan ones are the only ones worth reading).

But I disagree with this:

"It would be insanely anti-democratic—the very peak of judicial activism—to disenfranchise millions of voters who support Trump. The voters, not federal judges, should decide whether Trump’s actions on January 6 are disqualifying."

Again I ask, if a Constitution can't be enforced, what's it even for? It's not insanely anti-democratic to deny electoral opportunity to the Constitutionally ineligible, it's sanely anti - democratic. And when the ineligibity is due to the person having attacked democracy itself, it is at least arguably pro-democratic.
