Except that’s my point. SCOTUS has held that up every step of the way.

There are two issues here. I don’t think the Supreme Court can’t decide if he goes on the ballot, but they can decide if he’s eligible to become president.
States can put Trump on the ballot and send electors for him, but if the Supreme Court rules that he’s ineligible, he can no more become president than if he were a child or a foreign national.
The supreme court case that follows is what they are referring to and that CAN affect other states
