As @jbouie.bsky.social observes, the majority's claim that the federal judiciary cannot enforce Section 3 is particularly farcical in light of its nullification of Congress's explicit power to enforce the next Civil War Amendment in Shelby County. Just pure Calvinball: bsky.app/profile/jbou...
And the majority's holding that Section 3 is not self-executing because Congress is given what is plainly the concurrent and not exclusive authority to enforce it is transparently wrong:

Calvinball implies some sort of effort, they just had the result in mind and threw the Federalist Society SUV in reverse, backing over all sorts of legal doctrines in the process

I mean, technically, as Andrew Jackson pointed out, the Supreme Court can't actually enforce anything. Maybe the Colorado Secretary of State should just say that today's decision isn't enforceable barring enabling legislation from Congress.
