None of the supposed insurrectionists were even armed. And their supposed leader told them to act legally and patriotically.

And Hawaii highest court just gave the SCOTUS the finger re: 2nd Amendment.

Seriously, Cat. That’s a pretty irresponsible statement and Packis absolutely correct that it’s not true. Pack my marker is on 9-0.
Less certain on the narrow grounds, but the one I’m looking for is the one you’ve selected

What about the attack by the Puerto Ricans in 1951?

Actually 1954, and Jimmy Carter commuted their sentences.

...States Can Disqualify Trump From the Election As an Insurrectionist...

They sure can!!

Just as soon as a court somewhere actually proves that he is one!

Therefore, Trump is eligible to run

There is no such thing as "running" in the Constitution.

Trump was indeed charged. During his second impeachment, he was tried and acquitted of the charges of “incitement of insurrection” by the US Senate on February 13, 2021.

He was found *not guilty* by the only court with the authority to convict a President.
