Why MAGA Insurrectionists Shouldn't Crow Too Much About Today's SCOTUS Ruling | Colorado Pols

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : That failure allows Democrats to continue to argue insurrection as found by Colorado courts is exactly what Trump did.
32% : In November, voters across America will render the judgment on the merits that the Supreme Court did not in Trump v. Anderson.
31% : Today's unanimous decision by the U.S. Supreme Court striking down the disqualification of Donald Trump from Colorado's presidential primary ballot is being celebrated at maximum volume by the ex-President's supporters, another consequence that Trump's opponents had been steeling for as the expected outcome for over two months since the Colorado Supreme Court's historic initial ruling.
30% : The problem with all of these rosy assessments of today's ruling is that, while Trump will be allowed on the primary ballots he is at this point almost certain to sweep anyway, the Supreme Court did not strike down the findings by Colorado courts that Trump engaged in insurrection and was therefore disqualified-or at least disqualifiable-under the 14th Amendment.
30% : The real contribution this case will have comes later in the year as support for the criminal cases against Trump, and in the still-unresolved battle for public opinion over the 2020 presidential election.
27% : Trump specifically asked the Court to clear him of the insurrection finding, and the court chose not to do so.
26% : The Colorado Republican Party will now pivot to defeating Joe Biden while working with President Trump to get across the finish line in the general election.
22% : Trump, and by extension Boebert, fellow 2020 election deniers Ron Hanks and Dave Williams running for Congress in the state's other two Republican congressional districts, have been in no way "vindicated" by this ruling, which only found that a state cannot enforce the 14th Amendment.
13% : With Trump cruising to the Republican nomination, today's ruling is much less disruptive in the short run than a decision upholding Trump's disqualification would have been.
