It wasn't then, but you guys changed the definition after 1/6an insurrection is when a bunch of ladies march on washington wearing pink hats
The constitution doesn’t limit the definition of “arms” to “firearms“. So I don’t think people will want to argue that the mob on 1/6 was unarmed.It would have failed no matter what. More likely to fail if armed. Thanks for not being armed.
which part of the constitution says it’s ok for a president to attempt to overturn an election, in violation of the US Constitution?
"Peacefully and patriotically" meant how to walk to the Capitol. "As you walk in anger to the Capitol don't fight among yourselves, save your anger for the Capitol police and fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore."Any U.S. law you can cite is subservient to the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment says:
-----------------------------
3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.
-----------------------------
The 14th Amendment was written to resolve issues raised by the Civil War, and must be interpreted in that context. Regardless of the fact that the definition of the word "insurrection" means something far greater than Trump's actions on Jan. 6, the Civil War's actions were far greater as well.
Regardless, stating to a crowd that "I know you will" go to the capitol and "peacefully and patriotically" object to certification of illegally nominated presidential electors fails to match either definition.

Many of the Jan 6 mob did not pass thru magnetometers. Do you think none were armed? Some were stockpiling arms nearby. All it required was a spark, for one police or rioter to fire a shot, and everyone carrying pistols open up. Many believed the big lie, and still do.A rebellion is an armed resistance to an established government. Those who participate in rebellions are rebels.

He's a nobody.who cant refute anything. He just comes in with rolliesIt was an Insurrection/coup attempt by any definition besides Ifail's
It was an Insurrection/coup attempt by any definition besides Ifail's
Pure projection. Did Trump lose the election? Did Trump try and overrule the will of the voters?
The media has done such a good job on you
The whole electoral college has got to go. We will continue to have these fights, and will not really be a democracy, until we have a Presidency determined by voters rather than electors. Sadly, that will never happen.
------------------------------------
Clause 2. Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress; but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
Clause 3. The Electors shall meet in their respective States and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted.
------------------------------------
Electors from several states were contested by their own legislatures, as specified by the Constitution, because the officials responsible for accepting and counting votes sabotaged and corrupted the votes.
Now let's find out which part of the Constitution allows states to exclude national political party candidates from their ballots .....because the 14th Amendment doesn't do that.
