In this episode of Passing Judgment, we explore the latest legal bombshell dropped by the Supreme Court. With an unanimous ruling, the Court determined that states do not have the power to enforce section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which deals with the eligibility of federal candidates. Join us as Jessica dissects the details and disagreements within the Court's opinion and explores its potential impact on future elections and congressional power. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss: 1️⃣ The Supreme Court Ruling: The Colorado Supreme Court's decision was overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court, which held that the state exceeded its authority in determining a federal candidate's eligibility under a specific constitutional amendment. 2️⃣ Implementation and Implications of Section 3: The court's opinion was delivered per curiam, representing the entire bench, with the conservative and liberal justices offering differing perspectives on how Section 3 of the 14th Amendment can be enforced. 3️⃣ Disagreement Between Conservative and Liberal Justices: The ruling highlights the fracture lines within the court, with disagreement on the extent to which Congress can exclude an individual from holding office based on Section 3.
