The L.A. Times Reports:
"The Supreme Court will probably put Trump back on the ballot in Colorado and nationwide. The Supreme Court, which announced last week that it would hear the case on a warp-speed schedule, that is a precarious combination that looks like it will give the ultimate "win" to Donald Trump. The Supreme Court will be loath to permit a patchwork result in which Trump appears on the ballot in some states but not in others. To avoid such a patchwork, a majority of the justices is likely to reverse the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump engaged in insurrection and is therefore ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment. And the court will probably do so in a way that also prevents other states from removing the former president from the ballot."
Story written by Harry Litman. Litman is the senior legal affairs columnist for the L.A. Times, is a former U.S. attorney and deputy assistant attorney general. He isa regular commentator on MSNBC and CNN, and served as a law clerk to Thurgood Marshal and Anthony Kennedy, historically known as far-left justices on the Supreme Court.

Not my words...
Majority - collective noun, singular..

Oh, I've read it. And, the dissents. Hey, I'm just reporting here what a LIBERAL NEWS REPORTER for the L.A. Times, a supposed legal expert who worked for liberal SC justices said.R.Suave » 09 Jan 2024, 10:48 am » wrote: ↑ To avoid such a patchwork, a majority of the justices is likely to reverse the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump engaged in insurrection and is therefore ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment.

Does it really matter what I read? Does it matter what I think? No, I think it matters that LIBERALS have conceded this issue to Trump. Even before the Supreme Court decision.
Oooooooops, Libs screwed the pooch...............one...................more.................time........................AGAIN!

How can a majority be singular......understand the meaning of words.

The Supreme Court of Colorado explicitly affirmed the findings of the lower court with respect to Grifty's involvement.

Dude, it is. Drop it. Just like an atom is singular, but the atom contains electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks, neutrinos, photons, gluons, bosons, etc.RebelGator » 09 Jan 2024, 10:57 am » wrote: ↑ How can a majority be singular......understand the meaning of words.

Like "herd"

I've been known to buck establishment norms before.
While I might not be a Harvard President, i know that singular means one and to have a majority indicates s number greater than one.
Besides all that, just use it in a sentence and see what sounds better.

The majority are...
Now what?

When it comes to grammar, I just have to call it the way I see it. No offense, but R.Suave is right on that point. This is mechanical; not open to interpretation, just like 2+2=4, and there are only 2 genders for Homo Sapiens.RebelGator » 09 Jan 2024, 11:03 am » wrote: ↑ I've been known to buck establishment norms before.

One last word......majority can be singular or plural.Skans » 09 Jan 2024, 11:05 am » wrote: ↑ When it comes to grammar, I just have to call it the way I see it.

It depends on the context.....the phrase "majority of justices" is clearly indicating a plural meaning.

Upon further investigation, I have discovered that I am correct.

'a majority is" is not incorrect.
fact

Not by itself, but "a majority of justices" indicates a plural meaning.
I'll leave it at that...... feeling like James Brown.
