"Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No
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."
It's not unexpected that the Supreme Court ruled the way they did, but it seems that they handed him another win. You can read and download a PDF of the judgement here. Also be sure to see Judge Luttig's opinion of today's decision on Youtube (CNN)
