@danwentzel The 14th Amendment is about taking office, not about ballot access.
And the question before the court today isn't even about that, but as an appeal of a state court ruling the question is whether the state court acted properly.
Ballot access is a matter of state law that the 14th Amendment is silent on.
It's important to realize the question the Court is actually grappling with so as not to misinterpret its conclusion.
