The Supreme Court may have unanimously ruled in favor of Donald Trump Monday, but the Court’s liberal wing refused to align itself with the remainder of the justices — no matter how much one Trump appointee insisted that everyone was getting along.

The Court issued a per curiam decision ruling that Colorado is not authorized to disqualify Trump from running for president in the state. In the unsigned 12-page ruling, it said that “all nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”

Trump-appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett penned a two-paragraph concurrence to the ruling in favor of the former president. In it, Barrett said she agreed that states have no power to enforce Section 3 against presidential candidates, but said that the Court should have stopped there.

Colorado’s case did not require the justices to answer “the complicated question whether federal legislation is the exclusive vehicle through which Section 3 can be enforced,” said Barrett, chastising the majority for going beyond what was needed to resolve the dispute before it. Despite her disagreement with the Court’s handling of the case, Barrett had a relatively sunny take on the takeaway.

“The Court has settled a politically charged issue in the volatile season of a Presidential election,” Barrett wrote in an apparent effort to hold up her fellow justices as models of patriotic unity. “Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up.”

Barrett continued, framing the case’s outcome in a message of harmony for all.

“For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity,” she said. “All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home.”
