This morning's ruling was made in what is known as a "per curiam opinion", meaning that it does not specify who wrote the opinion. | |
The reliance on per curiam "means that [the opinion] carries less weight", University of Richmond law professor Carl Tobias argues. | |
"The concurrences by four justices reveal more about the Court’s thinking" and the internal dissent that comprises this unanimous decision, he says. | |
Tobias notes that the liberal justices expressly state that the | |
“majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can | |
bar an oath-breaking insurrectionist from becoming President [and] protest the | |
majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement | |
of that provision". | |

before us, [they] concur only in the judgment". | |
