I have a clear opinion, strongly argued for. However, I feel that my opinion is based on the facts. I have tried to interpret them fairly, without omitting or distorting anything relevant. If you feel I have cheated here in any way, be assured that my failings are at least honest failings, and let me know in the comments.

Even under Trump’s narrow definition, though, I still think he “engaged in insurrection.” I do not think it’s a close call. He did it. Let’s see if I can convince you he did.

Today, I proceed to the crux of the issue: has Donald Trump “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the Constitution of the United States, or “given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof”?

Last time, I decided to examine the question of Donald Trump’s disqualification by starting with the important stuff and working down to the minutiae (unlike a court of law, which goes the opposite direction). I started with the most important question of all: is it even legitimate to consider declaring a candidate disqualified? Should you ever take that decision away from the voters themselves? I answered yes, if the law includes qualifications, because we live in a republic, not a democracy.
