Politico: “The decision ignited an intense debate among election experts and constitutional scholars about whether the court has opened a path to another Jan. 6 crisis four years after the attack on the Capitol.”
“That’s because the justices explicitly ruled that the power to determine whether Trump is eligible for another term as president — or is disqualified as an ‘oathbreaking insurrectionist’ — lies with the House and Senate.”
“The five justices who fully endorsed the court’s lead opinion envisioned Congress passing ‘enforcement legislation’ to make this call. But scholars say the 13-page opinion left room for Trump’s detractors to pursue another path if he receives a majority of electoral votes this November: They could try to throw out his electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2025, when Congress will meet to certify the winner of the 2024 election.”
