“ Insurrection “

just tuned in to this thing - has anyone actually defined what constitutes 'insurrection' ???

How the hell can this thing survive at ANY level - what am I missing here

Is it really up to some official in some podunk state just decide that someone is an "insurrectionist?"

Could not a case be made that Biden is 'insurrecting' - not to mention 'treason' and 'bribery' - at this very moment based on their determination of what he 'meant' to do - or was 'alleged to have done." ???

This make ZERO sense to me on ANY level -

That's several analytical steps away from what the Court is seeming to focus on, at least initially.

They are always going to look for the threshold issues first, which in this case are at least (1a) state authority over ballot eligibility and (1b) the applicability of Section 3 to POTUS. If they find in favor of Trump on either of those things, they don't have to even get into "insurrection" if they don't want to.
