An interesting thought.
Reasonable to pursue.
Yeah, doing that will totally not start a civil war ... not that one isn’t already started.

Do you really think any of the corrupt judges we have today would enforce those sections of the 14th amendment
Yes we are experiencing unconventional warfare and asymmetrical attacks.
First,there would have to be some sort of declaration about the rioters being in rebellion. I can’t imagine what that would look like whether it be a presidential EO or a congressional resolution or bill passed as law. The Constitution doesn’t say. Then identifying them. Probably easy enough today. Then are there enough to swing an apportionment?
Section 2
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
The number of Electors and Representatives in a State shall be reduced based on the number of people engaged in insurrection against the U.S.
Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Any Senator, Representative, Elector, or civilian/military officeholder who provides aid and comfort to those engaged in insurrections or rebellions against the Constitution can no longer hold that office.
Section 4
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
The Federal government cannot be held liable for remunerations for incidents incurred during insurrection. Federal government also cannot be held responsible for reparations paid to former slaves.
There's a lot of meat in this video and it's definitely worth 8 1/2 minutes.
Sorry, but this doesn’t pass the constitutional laugh test. That clause was intended as a response to full scale organized and armed rebellion against the United States by entire states. Moving on.
Very interesting.
Listened. Yes. Barr should hit this HARD.
