    None of that has been tried in a court since the supreme Court ruling. And insurrection isn’t even one of the charges in the indictment.

    We can’t have a lawsuit about that till a ruling is handed down saying he did any of those things

    Which the Republicans knew, so they just had to delay until he won again and can pardon/dismiss/fire Jack smith/etc

      Nothing in the 14th section 3 says he must be charged with it even tried for insurrection. The Colorado trial court judge, after hearing all of the J6 evidence against Trump, found that he did engage in insurrection but did not remove him from the ballot. https://www.citizensforethics.org/news/press-releases/appeal-filed-in-colorado-14th-amendment-case/

      The Colorado Supreme Court eventually ruled that he should be removed from the primary ballot.

      SCOTUS did not take up the question of if Trump had participated in an inspection inspection, they only ruled that a state could not remove a candidate under the 14th section 3.
