I have a law license. Not sure one needs such to recognize obvious grounds for appeal.

"Not sure one needs such to recognize obvious grounds for appeal."

Not a lawyer, but I play one on FR, so let me state the obvious...

• Not an insurrection.
• It's a county position in a state, not a federal position.
• I doubt there was evidence that he was part of the planning for Jan 6.
• And I bet he wasn't even armed. How is that an insurrection and not a peaceful protest.
• And cops opened the gates, the doors and waved people in.
• The judge's comment sounds like the judge is targeting Trump.
• The insurrection law was civil war related, not sure it applies to anything else.

• How did I do?

and had I read more of the comments:

• He's not been convicted on insurrection just trespass.

I don’t think the insurrection language is important. Isn’t the relevant fact that there was a conviction on a felony charge? I’m not siding against your comment, just not sure about grounds for appeal.
