It needs to be pointed out - again! - that nowhere in this article do I say the court decision should be ignored. What I say is the court cannot strike the decisive, winning blow.

Amazingly, I disagree with you on this, TC. Sort of. You're right that we can't wait around wringing our hands and hope the courts save us. You're also right that we are in an existential struggle and that Trump must be defeated, and soundly, by voters. But this is a fight with multiple fronts, and democracy needs all the defensive power it can get if it's going to survive. The Colorado decision and the way it will force the issue to the Supreme Court (whose decision is sure to be another nail-biter and may well be a disaster) is one part of that. It doesn't let us off the hook.
