2. By definition, there are no "American people" who don't support the Constitution

The American people voted for presidents. The presidents duly appointed Supreme Court justices. The justices were duly confirmed by the Senate. If the Supreme Court rules that a state has the right to take a candidate off its ballots, it is the American people who are, in fact, making the decision.

It's not that the American people are being denied the right to vote for Trump, in other words. They will have exercised their right to take him off of the ballot. The people who resent it can pound salt. That's the Constitution. They're Americans. End of story.
