This is already getting appealed to the Supreme Court, so it's going to get fully resolved one way or the other. I can only hope they uphold the Colorado Supreme Court ruling.
A lot of felons* may not have the money machine to pay the lawyers to fight all the way to the Supreme Court. And there’s also the supremacy clause, so idk, which is why I’d like to hear from a con law pro, attorney or paralegal.
This isn't going to go how we want. It feels good now, but it's essentially a free ticket for the most right wing court in decades to rewrite/reinterpret the 14th ammendment...
