I'm hearing analysis that the liberal justices are worried about the weaponization of 14.3 were it to be enforced. The thinking goes: what will Texas do against Dems in future elections.
I'm not buying it. Each case should go to the supreme Court along with their findings of fact for a decision country wide based on merit.

Some worry that findings of "fact" from a MAGA kangaroo court in Texas would taint the factual record at the SC.
I say stand on principle with a straightforward enforcement of 14.3 due to an insurrection and let the chips fall where they may. If right wing radicals want to weaponize 14.3 (like they do with everything) then make sure a factual record is allowed to be built and in place at the SC to diminish suspect "facts" that were "found" at the state levels.
That’s the only logic I can see to Jackson’s and Kagan’s questions. I agree, use 14.3 now because it’s justified; any other uses have to also be justified in law and fact.
