It’s the Supreme Court’s first action related to the “insurrection clause” since it overturned the Colorado state Supreme Court’s decision to bar Donald Trump from the ballot. In their decision, the justices ruled that states should not have unilateral power to disqualify candidates for federal office — but that state offices are another matter.

“We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office,” the justices wrote.

Kewl. Queue all the Republican gerrymandered states enacting statutes banning disqualifying members of the Democratic Party (or, for that matter, any party save the GQP) from holding office, because their "librul soshulism" is a threat to the nation.
