Here is an article, one thing is certain the Supreme Court can hear any case concerning federal election concerns.

Feel free to read the ink.

1)That's total nonsense that you're probably parroting off right-wing media who are admitted liars. 

That exact question was addressed by the framers of the constitutional amendment when it was ratified in 1866. Sen. Johnson asks this exact question and Sen Morill points him to the wording of: OR HOLD ANY OFFICE having previously taken an oath under the United States as an executive.

14th Amendment, Article 3

"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.


2)  YES that is correct, no one on here has ever said they cannot hear it, it's IF THEY ONLY CHOOSE NOT TO HEAR IT!!!  Only then will it be kicked back to the state's.

Do you get it, or do I need to draw you a picture?!!!
