Why hasn’t Trump’s attorney brought up the fact that Trump was tried in the Senate for insurrection and found not guilty?😟
“Why hasn’t Trump’s attorney brought up the fact that Trump was tried in the Senate for insurrection and found not guilty?”
I was wondering the same thing!
Just a guess, but I am thinking that the bigger issue here, as stated earlier, is jurisdiction. A ruling that CO has no jurisdiction in Federal elections prevents other challenges later on that might not rely only on the candidate being charged with insurrection.
This would be a broader ruling that states cant deny candidates from ballots.
Senate trials have no legal precedential value because there is no set trial procedure or rules in that setting
