But, you have been touting that decision for quite some time.
Seems pretty clear they didn't.
To whom?
You tell me, Askholio. I am aware of what they said and didn't say.

Playing intellectual catch 22, robs you of your own time understanding what you are wrong about all the time since adopting the notion life isn't self evident in your own skin.

Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other RightsTo answer the question, it doesn't.
- Section 3 Disqualification from Holding OfficeNo person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
But sec 5 of the 14th says this:
Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other RightsIn reaching its decision in Trump v. Anderson, the U.S. Supreme Court observed that Congress enjoys power to enforce the Amendment through legislation pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment,6 and reasoned that Section 5 grants Congress alone the authority to provide for the enforcement of Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates.7 The Court noted, however, that states retain concurrent authority to enforce Section 3 with respect to state offices.
- Section 5 Enforcement
- The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Note that it does NOT say "shall have been convicted".shall have engaged in insurrection
so what? Here's the language of Section 3.But sec 5 of the 14th says this:
Nothing about Congress ENFORCING, only a high hurdle for Congress to REMOVE the disability.But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Both Equal Protection and Due Process are self-executing.Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights
- Section 5 Enforcement
