I MAY BE WRONG BUT IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE THE COURT WILL DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN “LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE”
I may be wrong in how the court will decide (I think it unlikely unless it’s very close). If I am then I will read the decision and the resulting opinions and determine if they used sound reasoning or erred.
IMO they are only taking on this case because the constitution is unclear in this matter and so is the law, and the consequences of ‘creating new law’ that allowed social construction of a claim of insurrection (court of public opinion constructed by media and political factions), would mean that the court would license future abuses on top of the present one.
In reality if they were to allow these matters to stand, the chance of civil war will have crossed the threshold, and the millions waiting for their opportunity will decide they have moral license.
I don’t see how the court can do anything but let the people decide.

Calling january 6th Insurrection is an opinion. What I saw was a protest over a belief that an election was subject to corruption. And that’s precisely what the participants said they were doing. In their view the court should have stepped in to settle the matter, and by failing to do so they could not let corruption stand.
It doesn’t matter if they were proven right or wrong over time – if at the time that was their state of mind.
Compare it to the BLM-ANTIFA insurrection that was an organized attempt at insurrection. Vast destruction ruination of cities, pervasive violence, and an increase in the rate of murders we have not yet recovered from.
It doesn’t matter what you think. You’re almost certainly an NPC. It matters what the court would decide.
Otherwise, we’d have people calling every little demonstration an insurrection, and we’d have people staging pretense of insurrection against the opposition to have them removed from the ballot.
I don’t miss the point. I think you can’t even imagine the field of points. Which is why you’re no one at all in life. And some of us have accumulated achievements in multiple fields in life….

Q: LET’S SCIENCE THE RACE AND ETHNICITY ISSUE
–“Race is above iQ. You need a folk bound by blood”– Theobald
Well, you’re expressing it as a preference, so how about I science it for you:
–“Devotion in time and loyalty over time to ethnicity in reproduction, society, economics, politics, and war is an advantage over all other alternatives. And the only advantage of alternatives is trade of goods services and information that improve the responsibility, agency, productivity, and capital of the ethnicity.”–
Why? This is why…
Except at the margins, (very top and very bottom) of any population (ethnicity race species) ingroup cooperation whether genetic, reproductive, social, economic, or political is an advantage over outgroup cooperation because of the material differences in neotenic evolution, related personality traits, related intelligence, and accumulated genetic load (defects).
In addition the aggregate neoteny, personality, intelligence, and genetic load composition of population is more influential on the conditions opportunities and outcomes than the same property of any given individual in that population.
Therefore the optimum polity is a small, homogenous, low power distance, high trust, redistributive (commons) polity that is larger than the minimum reproductive threshold possibility of improvement and error correction) and smaller than the minimum divergence threshold (difficulty of improvement and error correction). This number is between ten thousand and ten million.
But the minimum survivable polity appears to be three hundred thousand, and even then only when in association and alliance with others who, in total, constitute five to ten million.
But even at five to ten million the survivability of those polities requires alliance into the tens to hundreds of millions for defense and trade policy.
And subsequent alliance into the totality of others similar evolution, culture, and development for defense alone.
This only means ‘let a thousand nations bloom’ so that we may construct polities (human intergenerational farms).
Trading and visiting are different from cohabitating. 😉

I didnt make that assessment. I simply stated that it originated in that time period.
But keep attempting to sooth your self image by wasting my time. 😉

I’m down to two computers at the moment so the thought of losing one to repair for a bit is … frustrating. lol But I’ll have to break down and do it soon.

I don’t need to know you to observe the quality of your thought so far demonstrated. It’s enough. We can, believe it or not, tell almost everything about a person in as few as two hundred words. If that individual makes glaring cognitive errors – far fewer are required.

Intelligent people lie less because they are able to negotiate creatively given their superior abilities. Second they are less desperate to hold to their priors. Third they are usually safter socially economically, and in self image and status and so more insulated with more opportunities to further insulate them from risks. Fourth, your reputation is too valuable to smart people because your existence is more tied to your value in intellect and honesty than a person lacking intellect and honesty who must discover other means of competitive survival.
Furthermore, lying is a lot of work that requires a lot of memory and it’s just not worth it.

That is an assumption. It would mean that we could do the same to Biden for his insurrection of opening the border to invasion – heck, forget insurrection it could be treason for that matter. Or we could say that the failure of biden to suppress the insurrections by BLM and ANTIFA were an act that disqualifies him. (There are in fact suits underway making both of these claims as a vehicle for demonstrating the possibilities to the high court.)
You have opinions. But you’re an average person. The average person feels or intuits everything but thinks little, and when he does so, thinks poorly. In matters of causal density in a causal hierarchy, the average person – meaning all but a few people – merely justify their intuitions given their limited knowledge, and their limited knowledge is selected to confirm their priors.
Courts need criteria of decidability regardless of opinion and whether an insurrection existed or not at present is a social construction not a decision that survived adversarial competition between parties by the facts in a court competent to make such a decision.
