Thank you for the conclusion to the most thoughtful reporting I'm aware of on this case. It is with zero irony that I say this in response to a post with frequent depictions of Kermit freaking out. Kermit is correct.

Given the SCOTUS took a pass at barring Trump in the ballot while we were still in the primary election stage, why would any court, up to and including SCOTUS, want to use a quo warranto writ to remove a SITTING President? If they did that, that would be a recipe for the kind of civil war you envisioned back in August 2020.

Your point about how the Fourteenth Amendment provisions were treated by the courts, is well taken. But the Insurrection Clause has been dormant a lot longer than the Equal Protection or Due Process clauses.
