A definitive ruling for Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president, would largely end efforts in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere.

Surprise!!

    So that would mean insurrection would be legal in America. If Biden loses to Trump, I will feel empowered to riot in the same way. Time to get a gun I guess.

      Anything resembling a more left leaning insurrection will get a very different response than the last one. You will be murdered by the state on the spot. The feds bombed a civilian neighborhood in the 80s for less than that.

        They didn’t bomb a neighborhood…

        They flattened an entire block.

    I do not understand the US judiciary nullifying a portion of the “sacred” constitution. Seems like the beginning of the end, to an outside observer. Thanks for all the fish!!

    Tldr:

    Their excuse is he wasn’t personally there.

    So it’s not saying an insurrection is ok, they’re saying trump hasn’t been proven to have participated yet.

    Which is why not holding presidents accountable while in office is bullshit. This shit takes so long thru the courts, a lot can change.

    We can’t take a decade to prosecute an insurrection
