"Delays" of Courts on Immunity/A14s3 might speed up the big picture

[Sympthsical]

7. I think they have to take the A14s3 case

Too many states are deciding for themselves what a Constitutional Amendment means. And it's not a consistent application. Some say it's disqualifying, others don't. Some have courts managing it, some have state officials.

The Court isn't going to like that, conservative or liberal.

When it comes to something like the plain meaning of a Constitutional Amendment, they like clarity. And they very much like themselves to be the issuer of that clarity. Even if you strip away the legal considerations, those are nine people with egos who do not like it when other bodies encroach on their territory, and the 14th issue is very much that.

As for what they'll rule. One never knows. I just have this feeling they're going to get into due process. It'll be a pat "He wasn't convicted," and that will be that. I've read a lot of the arguments against, but I'm talking purely from what I observe from the Court. I read a lot of their decisions and listen to audio of the arguments sometimes. I think I have a vague sense of them, and I think you'll get at least five conservatives arguing due process needs to be observed.
