Blatantly unconstitutional. The voting is directly controlled by the state constitutions, not the fed. Even congress would need to amend the constitution to do this, but we’ll see how the bench legislators in SCOTUS rule.
Not really the same, that ruling was for the Fourteenth Amendment disqualification because Trump engaged in insurrection against the United States, that states can’t individually determine if someone engaged in insurrection.
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
States determine ballot eligibility for their ballots. 14A S3 clearly addresses ballot eligibility in relation to insurrection. When I say that SCOTUS “crossed that line”, I meant that in the sense of “they were wrong, I wonder why”.
Or cherry pick the pieces they want to pay attention to. Well, you must not fuck around on your wife, but if you are crashing Grindr servers at RNC or touching someone’s kid, it is obviously okay.

The Constitution no longer matters when all branches of power fail to uphold it and instead collude with the Orange King.
SCOTUS already crossed that line with Trump v. Anderson.

Article 1 of the constitution outlines clearly that states manage the time, place and manner of elections:
States determine ballot eligibility for their ballots. 14A S3 clearly addresses ballot eligibility in relation to insurrection. When I say that SCOTUS “crossed that line”, I meant that in the sense of “they were wrong, I wonder why”.
Republicans seems to interpret the constitution like christians interpret the bible
Aka. they don’t even read it.

tbf, i don’t think most of us have read it since grade school. that said, at least some of us respect it.
Congress could probably do it, but it would have to be functional to do so. Which it very much is not.
