Contrary to the what the media would have us believe, Trump has not been indicted on insurrection, much less convicted. Thus to the question the courts must assume innocence until proven guilty.

Here is the key portion of the 14th: ” 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,…. Have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.

No conviction is required. Any Judge, who is in agreement with a State tgat says Trump “engaged”?in an insurrection could exclude him from the ballot. Trumpcwill have to appeal the decision if he is to be reinstated on the ballot.

As the blue states realize this, more will do the same.

Currently the deepstate’s definition of insurrection is a very small group of hired professional agitators in a crowd of 100,000s — crowd size could be as much as 1 million— a number disputed by the professional liars.

With a crowd that large 100,000 or 1 Million a true insurrection directed by Trump would have caused far more damage. That they even call it an insurrection is an insult to any thinking person’s intelligence.

Crowd sizes matter.

Your questions are very relevant but would be legally premature under the former Constitution of the US. This attorney has no standing despite that he thinks he / his client does. They don’t have to vote for Trump, and Trump may not be the winner. But even if Trump won, what real Constitutional irreparable injury would this plaintiff suffer? If there was no standing to challenge bho’s “natural born citizen” status despite his obfuscation and evidence of his own hand proving otherwise, this case has even less stadning than no standing.

The strategy is to have 50 of these cases to bog down Trump and GOP. There are enough cherry-picked leftist judges to allow the cases to proceed. And if they do allow to proceed by finding the plaintiff has standing, it will be equally irrelevant to them to your questions. And who is going to fund the challenge to these cases? GOPe? ROFLMAO. No, they are banking that Jerk Smith or Alvin the Dangerous Clown in New York will get a rigged jury to convict Trump. Then this and the other 49 cases will move to modify their complaint to show by his convictions are evidene that Trump had due process and the 14th A applies to keep him off the ballot.

By the time all this, moving at the speed of molasses in late-january at the North Pole, makes it to the Supreme Court (headed by a CJ who doesn’t believe any feral judge is politically motivated), it will be after 2024. There is a good chance (given current composition) that at least a 5-4 will overturn most if not all of these cases against Trump - at least his convictions. For the 50 others, they will refuse to hear them because Trump lost and the cases are moot. The demonkkraps Ted Stevens stategy of using prosecution and courts to interfere in (s)elections lives!

My FRiend - the Constitution is already dead.

“Go peacefully and patriotically...]

Yeah, a very un-insurrectioney thing to say.

Case dismissed.
