Have not read the separate opinion, which argues that the per curiam went too far in barring Federal courts from ruling on Section 3. Seems like that could become relevant down the road a bit.

The reason that the Liberal justices went along with this is that they know that every Red state would just immediately declare that Democrats have "abandoned the border" or some other pretense to claim they've done something that constitutes an insurrection, and ban any and all Democrats from all political races.

You can't make rulings that rely on good-faith political participation anymore, because the Right is not operating in good-faith.
