You need to try that again. It appears you did not read the entire sentence:

Your patient explanation, to the effect that no conviction is required, is met with disbelief....or worse...
Let this put that particular matter to rest..
if the appeals court were to rule in Trump’s favor, it would have no effect on his disqualification, as the constitutional bar is not based on any conviction for any criminal offense. Although insurrection is indeed a federal crime under 18 US Code § 2383, it became one only in 1948, and it is in any case irrelevant to disqualification under the Constitution. None of the ex-Confederates excluded from office after the amendment went into effect were prosecuted for insurrection.

You predict Trump will NOT be allowed to run for president.
Ok..
Your agreement with the argument is not a requirement to make the argument. I understand you butt-hurt whiny *** liberals don't like the argument, but it remains an argument until the question is answered.

Since it was made it court (per reports), it IS an argument. That, and the argument the President is not an officer...be appoints officers.R.Suave » 03 Mar 2024, 7:38 pm » wrote: ↑ There's no argument, only an asseetion.
An assertion which ignores the text of Section 3.

The officer argument was resolved by the Colorado Supreme Court.

I will correct myself...their argument is an insurrection (as defined by US Code) did not occur:

They contend that the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol wasn’t an insurrection. They say the attack wasn’t widespread, didn’t involve large amounts of firearms or include other markers of sedition. They say Trump didn’t “engage” in anything that day other than in exercising his protected free speech rights.

Well, since insurrection is a crime...and no organization with the authority to conduct a criminal investigation has found an insurrection occurred, their argument seems pretty strong to me.
Except that Section 3 doesn't require a criminal conviction, only a court finding.ConsRule » 03 Mar 2024, 8:04 pm » wrote: ↑ Well, since insurrection is a crime...and no organization with the authority to conduct a criminal investigation has found an insurrection occurred, their argument seems pretty strong to me.
Don't you talk about us like that.
You got ****, Titled family boy,
But is does require insurrection...which, under law, has a definition. I understand you (and probably every other whiny *** liberal) will never accept the argument, but I really could not care less. The Supreme Court will most likely decide the matter.
