It just struck me that if the Supremes do uphold Trump’s removal from the ballot, it might just be seen historically as a bookend to Bush v Gore. The latter prevented the winner from assuming the Presidency. The former prevents the loser from assuming the Presidency. As Maggie said, “…, you’re going to see people, in other states, trying this anyway. And if the Supreme Court does that [uphold Colorado], it’s, he will get kicked off the ballot almost everywhere.”

And this is the main reason I think the conservatives on the Court will not uphold. They will find a rationalization, but they do not want that responsibility, something the Bush v Gore court was happy to do.
