    The supreme Court reversed saying as much, however even with all Democrat judges the decision was 4-3. Dissenting judges were concerned about the lack of due process, basically Trump hasn’t been convicted. This is despite the fact that Trump’s legal representation did defend against the plaintiffs claims.

      None of the confederates were tried as well so the due process concerns would be a change in the usage of the statute. All you had to do was prove somebody was a confederate and the statute would apply.

      Likely the supreme court will say its like a sparkling coup because it doesn’t come from the Insurrection region of france and they will bend over backwards for Their Guy ™
