I absolutely agree—the evidence is there. But the fact that the legal system failed us in that they did not hold him legally accountable, it's a total setback. The evidence was already presented before them and they ruled that his actions are within legal limits. Objectively, however, they were not.

It's either legal or illegal. Guilty or not guilty. They did not find him guilty, therefore, he would not be disqualified. They ruled that a single state cannot determine the eligibility of presidency. I'm not saying you're wrong, but how can we proceed with this?

There is no provision in the Constitution that says there's a presumption of innocence with respect to eligibility to hold office.

Doesn't matter what anyone ruled. We can just say they are wrong.

That's actually not true, by the way. SCOTUS did not say his actions did not constitute insurrection, just that Colorado couldn't make that determination.

I see that I misunderstood and you are correct in that they did not even attempt to prosecute him—my apologies. But I do not foresee them escalating this, especially SCOTUS. He had them in his back pocket.

What Trump and the Republicans get, and why they've been successful, is that political and legal reality is malleable. Not a fixed entity.

If that reality doesn't match what you believe should be true, you should work to change that reality, not conform to it.

Democrats should be making clear, as a principle, that regardless of what SCOTUS says, or what Republicans say, Trump *is not eligible* to be President and that everything he would do in office is unconstitutional.
