OK, they didn’t come right out and say it, that would be too easy.

But in the ruling allowing Trump on the primaries ballots in Wisconsin and Colorado (and presumably elsewhere) they said a state can’t use the 14th Amendment to prohibit federal candidates, but can for STATE candidates.

Couy Griffin was a local official who took part in the January 6th events, and the New Mexico courts ruled that he be removed from office because he took part in “an insurrection.” He appealed; the USSC declined to overturn the state court ruling, saying in effect “Yes, the 14th amendment can apply here, and you are O-U-T.”

Supreme Court rejects appeal by former New Mexico county commissioner banned for Jan. 6 insurrection

 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from a former 
New Mexico county commissioner who was kicked out of office over his participation in 
the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Former Otero County commissioner Couy Griffin, a cowboy pastor who rode to national 
political fame by embracing then-President Donald Trump with a series of horseback 
caravans, is the only elected official thus far to be banned from office in connection 
with the Capitol attack, which disrupted Congress as it was trying to certify 
Joe Biden’s 2020 electoral victory over Trump.

At a 2022 trial in state district court, Griffin received the first disqualification 
from office in over a century under a provision of the 14th Amendment written to 
prevent former Confederates from serving in government after the Civil War.
