The most recent Petitions/Objections/Complaints in Illinois and Massachusetts reference the Colorado and Maine decisions, are very specific and do an excellent job of laying out State jurisdictional bases for removing Trump from their respective ballots. I think that will make it difficult for the Supreme Court to rule otherwise.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Here's a simplified version of the arguments from the BBC: The 14th Amendment plan to disqualify Trump, explained

I suspect that the Supremes are waiting for a court to actually convict Trump of messing with the constitution before he can be kept from running. The problem is that there isn't enough time for that to happen and I fully expect him to skate because he was never convicted.
Seems pretty simple to me. The Trump ongoing plan with time seems to be pretty good for him..... and, pretty much, defines one of the main problems with the working of our justice system.

Thanks again NW for the summary. Me, being plain ol' Jim, believe that your last paragraph says how I feel they should rule. However, that's going to open up a whole new can of worms!

There are just so many issues to address, it is hard to even list them all! I typed the words some 8 years ago, that people need to have brought suits against Trump for every conceivable Constitutional perversion he would attempt pre-emptivey, in order not to have to deal with so many issues in such a constrained time span prior to an election. And guess what we have .... Constitutional splatter

Trump may not even make it that far. Yesterday Donald Trump claimed that Nikki Haley was Speaker of the House, and appeared to suggest that George Conway was the capital of New Hampshire. If none of those words seem to go together, it’s because they don’t. At this point nothing Trump says makes any sense. His brain is failing on every level. If you’ve ever known anyone who’s suffered from dementia, you know that it comes on gradually until it starts accelerating, at which point it quickly goes off a cliff.
But it’s not just Trump’s brain that’s rotting. He’s got these red sores on his hand that people think is a disease - 2nd stage syphillis (sores, dementia). More tellingly, he’s so far gone cognitively, it’s not even occurring to him that he should have someone put something on his hand sores to cover them up before going out in public.

Trump supporters love the authenticity of word salad diarrhea, or are they being conned by cognitive decline.
Regardless, nothing changes the fact he is the prototypical example for narcissistic personality disorder.

Trump, the SCOTUS, his campaign, the trials and the 14th amendment. Why the Supreme Court could matter more than Iowa and New Hampshire https://www.yahoo.com/news/next-stop-trump-path-presumptive-100000502.html
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

The DOJ hasn’t taken a stance on whether Trump is an insurrectionist or not. Apparently, the DOJ won’t file any briefs or present the U.S. Governments view on Trump being an insurrectionist to the SCOTUS. As Supreme Court weighs Trump’s eligibility, the ‘10th justice’ stays mum https://www.yahoo.com/news/showdown-over-trump-eligibility-biden-212208282.html
