Excerpt:
“Happily, our Supreme Court is made up of people with more grounding in real law and the real world. As the per curiam opinion noted, the 14th Amendment is about reducing state freedom of action, not expanding it. (And although the Court didn’t reach the question, the notion that the January 6 clown show was an “insurrection” for purposes of the 14th Amendment is laughable in itself. The 14th Amendment was drafted against the background of the Civil War, in which numerous states waged armed rebellion under their own constitution. The January 6 events, in which the “insurrectionaries” were welcomed into the Capitol by Capitol Police, hardly compares. It’s light years even from the Whiskey Rebellion.)“
