Either that or they’ll punt it. “We looked at the case and decided that it’s up to the states to decide who goes on the ballots and who doesn’t.”
This would let Colorado and other states kick Trump off the ballot, but it would also open the door to red states kicking Biden off the ballot for “all his crimes which we still have no evidence of.”
Then the Supreme Court will eventually need to hear a case on WHAT REASON is good enough to kick someone off the ballot. Is “they fail to meet the requirements” good enough? What about “we don’t like this guy and don’t want him to win?”

In Trumps case he was deemed to have incited insurrection and the constitution tells them he can’t hold office.
It’s going to be a lot harder for anyone to remove Biden and survive a court challenge unless they also find him guilty of insurrection somehow.
