:I think we can expect the federal courts to overturn this decision as a violation of due process. To comply with due process, there has to be a law or a precedent somewhere that would support this decision. The insurrection clause in the 14th Amendment is not self-explanatory and it does not give us criteria to determine who has committed this act. '''Update''' I read the court decision [https://archive.is/Uk4zz here]. I got to say, what a joke. It doesn't attempt to find a law or precedent, but instead argues that the insurrection clause is "self-executing." The "fight like hell" quote is cited as Trump's principle act of insurrection. When it should be citing cases and statutes, the court cites a book by Eric Foner and a webpage at the National Archive.
