Then maybe he should shut up.

This garbage that you're posting is extremely offensive, @mozz. A national abortion ban would subject hundreds of millions of women to potential medical atrocities. Trump is promising to round up approximately ten million Latinos and send them to concentration camps.

Ralph Nader, Mother Jones, and you are helping to make that happen.

"how the fuck did things get to such a state..."

Because Ralph motherfucking Nader, and Mother Jones, and other scumbags like them, tore Americans away from reality and from sanity. That's how.

Not knowing US constitutional law, it seems to me the SCOTUS decision might mean that the Dems missed an opportunity when they had the house

That it’s a federal matter seems legally predictable/natural to me, and that it then falls to congress to enforce then also seems natural.

What am I missing on that?

Otherwise, what would the Dems have had to lose by passing an act when they had the house? The 14th was right there.

It's natural that disqualification under 14A should be a federal question, but it's nonsensical that SCOTUS would require Congress to enforce the Constitution. That was not predictable.

What the Dems did do when they had the House was impeach Trump for insurrection. If the Senate had done their job by convicting him, then, in the second phase of impeachment, he would have been barred for office for life. But, led by McConnell, they voted to let him be president again.
