Well at least they didn’t block the trial date from proceeding.
Best case I can see off-hand now would be SCOTUS affirming COLO or not touching it, and that setting in motion other states doing the same, but meanwhile off the ballot(s) in COLO.
And what would happen if, say, it does go to court but meanwhile all along the way there are appeals based on immunity? Or if it gets to trial without it being resolved… put on hold (“until after the election”?) until it gets put before SCOTUS again?
This is fresh news, so I’ve not heard all the experts (Weissman, Katyal, Tribe et al) have a go on “what this may mean” yet, but I"m sure the news cycles tonight, both nightly and “week in review” are going to delve into this. SMH… ho ho ho
