Per Curiam 

Supreme Court therefore cannot stand.

All  nine  Members  of  the  Court  agree  with  that  result.
Our colleagues writing separately further agree with many
of  the  reasons  this  opinion  provides  for  reaching  it.    See 
post,  Part  I  (joint  opinion  of  SOTOMAYOR,  KAGAN,  and 
JACKSON, JJ.); see also post, p. 1 (opinion of BARRETT, J.).
So far as we can tell, they object only to our taking into ac-
count the distinctive way Section 3 works and the fact that 
Section 5 vests in Congress the power to enforce it.  These 
are  not  the  only  reasons  the  States  lack  power  to  enforce
this particular constitutional provision with respect to fed-
eral offices.  But they are important ones, and it is the com-
bination of all the reasons set forth in this opinion—not, as
some of our colleagues would have it, just one particular ra-
tionale—that resolves this case.  In our view, each of these 
reasons is necessary to provide a complete explanation for 
the judgment the Court unanimously reaches. 

The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court is reversed.
The mandate shall issue forthwith. 

It is so ordered.
