This was not a supreme court decision. This was the chief justice giving his opinion (not the opinion of the supreme court) in his function as the head of a circuit court that did not include Colorado in its jurisdiction.
In absence of a full surpeme court decision this case is irrelevant to Colorado's decision.
Isn't it funny how this always happens? I can spend less than 5 minutes on google and prove you wrong using your own documents? Happens like, literally every time we talk.
If you want to try to pull a technicality as a gotcha on someone you should probably make your own post clear of technical violations too.
This case isn't irrelevant to Colorado's decision, the SCOTUS is almost certainly going to read into this precedent specifically
because Samuel Chase was both chief justice of the supreme court and present at the drafting of the 14th amendment and uniquely suited to weigh in on its intent, as well as direct cause for the acts of congress that followed to strip southerners from their positions under the soon following 15th amendment just like Chase said was necessary, like the Ku Klux Klan Act.
Besides, what do you think you're going to get from this argument? Its a rarity for court cases to be so expedited that I'll be able to tell you how wrong you are in just a few weeks. We can just bump this thread a few times
Do you think this is going to go to a SCOTUS who hear arguments bringing up past precedents like Chase's opinion and the total lack of due process and the total annihilation of American democracy that would ensue and for John Roberts to say yeah, I'd love to plunge this country into the abyss?
