A group of North Carolinians failed to get North Carolina Representative Madison Cawthorn kicked off November’s ballot. They’d argued that the 14th Amendment’s “Disqualification Clause” prohibits anyone who participated in an “insurrection” against the government of the United States from appearing on a ballot—and of course, within hours of events on January 6, Democrats started saying that a spontaneous protest at the Capitol constituted an “insurrection.” (The fact that there seem to have been government operatives herding people onto the Capitol grounds and into the building suggests it wasn’t a coincidence that they instantly had a narrative in place.)
Cawthorn was the first to be subject to a 14th Amendment, Section 3 (Disqualification Clause) attack, but the fact is that, back in December, all activities got their Marc Elias, Hillary Clinton’s attorney: (Tweet at link)

We may even see litigation.
Wasn’t the “Russia Collusion” fake story a soft coup attempt?
I don’t even recognize this country. The GOP has ben thoroughly defeated and have done nothing to stop this nonsense on so many fronts.
Who is this”group of North Carolinians”?
We as their opposition and opponents should get to face them, let’s see who these people are and aren’t.
Traitors come in all flavors
Well, all but Cheney and Kinzinger, anyways.
Looks like this Elias guy is one. And the below quote explains his motivation against Cawthorne.
“Marc Elias, incidentally, is a person of interest in John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russia Hoax perpetrated against President Trump.”
yep, they don't eve bother anymore, they can't even bother to show up on Sunday shows. They can have their majority, I won't be voting for them.
As I have said on numerous occasions over the years, the GOP needs to be tossed on the scrap heap of history just like the WHIG Party was. We must start over with a real and honest alternative to the UNIPARTY crap that has been dragging us down.
It’s either time or it’s too late.
If stupidity was illegal, my son-in-law would be in jail.
Sorry!
He is a piece of work and is the person who coordinated with Govs and State AGs on the rules changes for the 2020 election.
He sounds like a candidate for Leavenworth military prison.
Those days are gone.
That makes no sense.
A Republican wins; therefore Republicans are all surrendering?
Say what?
Good call.
My prediction: if the GOP gets any guts at all it will revive these lawfare tactics and use them against the party of Rebellion, Secession, and Slavery.
Great news...
Has any court upheld the claim that an Insurrection occurred on Jan 6, 2021?
Is it possible that the idiotic notion that this unserious group of lunatics is salivating over, concerning the accusations that President Trump encouraged an “insurrection” can finally be put to bed, before they make bigger FOOLS of themselves.
I think this was a dry run to see if they could get a good judgment on the silly notion that an INSURRECTION could be started with words and NOTHING ELSE.
I guess it depends on how crazy Lizzy is.
Perhaps they should just disband quietly and go home.
Incidentally, the judgment was PERFECT.
