TL;DR NY Times predicts trump will remain on the ballet and the ruling will likely have a very narrow basis in hopes of achieving unanimous consensus from the court.

And what if Colorado/Maine tells the SC to go piss up a rope after the ruling?
I’m no expert, but I would guess a constitutional crisis and then bad stuff (i.e. nobody knows, it’s not supposed to happen).
Conceivably there could be military intervention; the national guard was called to intervene after many schools refused to comply with the ruling of Brown v. Board of Education.
Well, all the teabaggers that cry about “states rights” will surely support Colorado/Maine, right?
Right?
Who would care? The MAGA court has lost legitimacy.
The Court issues orders requiring compliance with the holding. If the state officials remain in defiance, then US Marshals arrest the noncompliant state officials, if necessary the President will order the federalizing of the National Guard to provide security to sites and personnel and to ensure compliance with federal law, and so on. Basically the full authority of the federal government being used to bring a rebellious state government to heel.
That’s not how this works. The blots would be printed without trumps name on them. Wtf is the national guard going to do, seize ballots? They have no authority. This is a states right issue. The scotus has no power here.
It is not a states’ rights issue, at least not exclusively or primarily. Where’d you get your law degree, Quiznos?
Why would you expect that? SC overrides lower courts all the time and it doesn’t turn into insurrection.
