Minnesota Supreme Court dismisses ‘insurrection clause’ challenge and allows Trump on primary ballot. A first year law student could have won this (maybe not one that took ten years to get his law degree).
Trump’s attorneys argued that Section 3 has no power without Congress laying out the criteria and procedures for applying it, that the Jan. 6 attack doesn’t meet the definition of insurrection and that the former president was simply using his free speech rights. They also argued that the clause doesn’t apply to the office of the presidency, which is not mentioned in the text.
Nuff said.
