What does “insurrection” even mean?

That’s the question top Republican lawmakers — including Mitch McConnell, who previously held Donald Trump responsible for the riot on January 6, 2021 — are asking the Supreme Court in a brief defending him from being disqualified in the 2024 election.

In a legal brief filed Thursday, 179 Republican politicians urged the court to overturn a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that kicked Trump off the 2024 ballot because it found he violated the 14th Amendment’s Section 3, which bans those who “engaged in” insurrection from running.

      Moscow Mitch said he didn’t vote to impeach because he should be criminally convicted instead.
