    Insurrection has a legal definition, and that’s the definition that counts.

    Judges are the ones responsible for deciding whether a legal definition applies, and so far all those involved said it does.

      Do you see the issue with one judge or a couple judges deciding who get to run for office at their whim?

        Judges already do a lot more than that, they have the power to decide who lives and dies.

          Thats fair, but Trump running for office could be a lot bigger than that if it leads to domestic conflict.

            Judges generally don’t care if their decisions lead to domestic conflict. Nor should they, that’s how rule of law can succumb to mob rule.

              I understand that, but when judges do things like remove people from ballots over accusation, that is obviously a political decision.

                When they reject congressional maps that violate the Voting Rights Act, that is also political. It has resulted in elected representatives losing their seats. Multiple times.

                Judges enforce the law, and politics are not above the law

                  The law is not what they say, its biased and is not real justice many times. Do you recognize the five or so prosecutions against trump are political, and could result in severe domestic violence?

                    I think Trump broke the law and needs to face the consequences. I am not afraid of his threats of violence.
