A divided federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., upheld a trespassing charge and conviction Tuesday against Jan. 6 defendant Couy Griffin. The charge has been used against more than 1,400 rioters at the U.S. Capitol.
Colorado ruled that he was ineligible due to having participated in the insurrection, and then the USSC ruled that nothing prevents him from running, only holding office, so they had to keep him on the ballot.
They didn’t actually say he can hold office, but they basically punted it to congress to declare that he can’t, and would need to perform a vote to allow him to hold office.
But Congress won’t do their duty, and the current house would majority vote to allow him to run because it’s fully of corrupt.

The Supreme Court went out of their way to dodge the 14th Amendment question. Both during questioning and in their ruling.
