“Colorado’s top court concluded in December that the attack was an insurrection
They do not have the authority to make such a declaration. None. Especially in light of the FACT that the F.B.I. declared that there was NO evidence to substantiate J6 as a so-called "insurrection." Stop calling J6 an Insurrection.
that Trump is an insurrectionist
Since J6 was NOT an insurrection, Trump is NOT an insurrectionist.
He was even tried via the House and acquitted of 'inciting an insurrection.'
Again, NO insurrection.
who is barred by the Constitution from serving as president again. The Colorado justices ruled he could not appear on the state’s primary ballot but put their decision on hold while Trump pursued an appeal“
That's not how the 14th Sec. 3 works. There is no specific mention of the Office either the President OR Vice President. Those justices are ignorant of Constitutional Law and how to read/interpret it.
Trump was charged with insurrection in his second impeachment. A jury of biased Republicans, who decided to acquit
At least you can admit he was acquitted. So, this is a none issue then.
Mitch McConnell then stated that Trump should be charged for his crime once he was out of office.
He is not an authority on anything and his subjective opinion carries no legal weight, or political weight for that matter.
insurrection as it was understood in the 1860s was “any public use of force or a threat of force by a group of people to hinder the execution of the law.”
Not how it works, buddy. You may think of yourself of as a pseudo constitutional law scholar, but you know nothing about the Constitution. I mean really, 'public use of force'? LOL!!! You really need to do some legislative historical research on that amendment, learn the legal definitions and not a layman's understanding of the term.
“It was never considered an element of Section 3 that you need a criminal conviction,” he said, noting that after the Civil War many former Confederates were disqualified from office even though they had not been charged with insurrection or treason”
No shit, but a legitimate law-based organization/agency needs to have emphatically declared J6 as an insurrection. None have. The courts do not have the authority to do that. Courts do not file charges, law agencies do. Cops. DA's. DOJ. FBI. Etc. And since none have, J6 was NOT and never will be an 'insurrection.'
