26. most people never read the constitution

trump quite literally organized Stop the Steal riot with the goal to overthrow peaceful transition of power - insurrection. He had both criminal intent and organizing a rally in a very public way. Supreme Court is gonna struggle with this. Also, if not for capitol police officers (some dead), trump
may have succeeded in this insurrection with multiple congresspeople executed. His 2nd term would be very different with only singular goal to destroy democracy. This means instead of Bill Bahr he would be hiring people like Vivek who vowed to get rid of FBI on day 1. Eliminate FBI and replace military commander with trump loyalists, etc. All can be done under martial law needed to remove all undocumented people.

I think the word rebellion is also in there, there's no crime called rebellion, how could he be convicted of it? Walleye Jan 2024 #1
Sorry - The word rebellion is also in 18 USC §2383. FBaggins Jan 2024 #27

Section 5 is a problem: maxsolomon Jan 2024 #31
Since Section 3 precedes section 5. My reading is based on an election in progress. cayugafalls Jan 2024 #37
I read it as being the method whereby the preceding clauses are enforced. maxsolomon Jan 2024 #38
Well, we could have an entire discussion on just section 4... cayugafalls Jan 2024 #39
Section 5 is 1 sentence: maxsolomon Jan 2024 #40
