It’s definitely getting overturned. The only real question is whether the court feels like punting or if it decides to set some definitive rules for disqualification going forward. I think they’ll rule that the 14th Amendment’s disqualification provisions require a conviction for a disqualifying crime under enabling legislation. Given Trump has not yet been convicted of any crime it would not apply to him.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruling is, aside from being stupid and anti-democratic, full of holes and easy to pick apart. Honestly I think it might be 9-0 on the Trump question specifically, though I can see the justices writing multiple different opinions on which standard (if any) should be set.

If that happens, Republican voters would sue RNC for nominating unqualified presidential candidates and deprived votes the right to vote. The will prevail in SC, and force RNC to install DeSantis instead.

There’s not really any use in speculating. I’d put 100:1 odds on the Supreme Court ruling that Trump is disqualified. It’s not going to happen.
