@rpardee The stumbling block I see is that they won't want to call Jan. 6 an "insurrection". But neither can they come out and say that it wasn't one. It was on live TV.
@LiberalLibrarian well, as an appellate court, they *should* accept the findings of fact of the trial court, unless there is "clear error", which is supposed to be a really high bar.
Mind you I would not trust Alito & them to adhere to this at all--they don't seem super committed to this rule. So really I'm fantasizing here...
@LiberalLibrarian well, I mean "founders" here to include the second round--Lincoln, Sumner, etc.
