Even if we allow for the sake of a hypothetical that Trump directly was part of an "insurrection," states have no authority to make this determination around eligibility under the 14th amendment. The ruling was unanimous including from liberals on the court who despise Trump, and does nothing to ignore the 14th amendment which I'm sure John actually realizes. He just doesn't like the outcome so we've moved on to the hyperbole phase. Whether Trump was actually guilty of insurrection is a moot point from a legal perspective in ruling on a state taking this kind of action. It would have to come from Congress. The Constitution has not been violated here and everyone should feel good that the SCOTUS put personal feelings aside, and did their job.
