From what I gathered from Constitutional lawyer Dershowitz, the meaning/interpretation of “insurrection” should be narrowly construed to the period immediately following the civil war & is being interpreted wrongly against Trump in the present context of January 6. This goes also to determining the intent of the original legislators as to identifying/limiting who is an “official” for purposes of making someone ineligible for govt. office. So, Mr. Fein, this legal layman has a problem with your argument. I think this requires more discussion for such an important democratic topic.
