3/ Via Kyle Cheney:
States may not unilaterally disqualify Donald Trump from the ballot, the Supreme Court rules unanimously..
Only Congress can decide
The ruling includes exactly zero discussion about whether Jan. 6 was an insurrection or whether Donald Trump enaged in it. The court's liberals wrote a concurrence agreeing with the outcome but sharply disputing the conclusion that only Congress can act.

Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson say that — though they agree with the result — five of the court's conservatives went too far in opining HOW and BY WHOM the disqualification clause can be enforced federally.
Barrett appears to agree with the three on that point.
