They're not the gold standard. It remains to be seen whether he will be found to have engaged in activity that qualifies. AFAIK, Jack Smith can't nail him precisely on that but I suspect it will be up to the Supreme Court to decide.
Well, according to David Kaiser this is going to give Supreme Court 'originalists' a problem. So, he must mean that the people who wrote the 14th Amendment intended it to apply to later insurrections. Seems logical that Trump's actions then would have to be similar to those of people who served the Confederacy, to be covered by this constitutional amendment.
What difference does it make for you? If he fired on Fort Sumter, would you support kicking him off the ballot? Betting you can't say yes. You people will defend him no matter *what* he does, or has done. Trump is merely a symbol of how utterly morally corrupt the right has become.
You might want to re-think (or perhaps, do it for the first time) the point about who can't tell the difference between protesting and launching a military attack.

Would you say that if it had been Joe Biden who'd tried to overthrow the election? Are you only a Civil War purist when it's *your* boy at stake?
You have a very bad intellectual habit of jumping to conclusions based on little evidence. Which is a mark of bigotry.
You have a bad habit of judging the intent of amendments when you're not a constitutional lawyer.

You just asked what difference it makes to me if I live in a dictatorship or a democracy. Speaking of how morally corrupt some people are.
So you can't tell the difference between people who attacked Fort Sumter, and the guy who tried to overthrow a fair and honest election?
You never did answer the question. Would you kick Donald Trump off the ballot if he fired on Fort Sumter?
