Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : No matter what the House impeachment charged, Trump was acquitted.
46% : It goes on to show how Congress had previously addressed that issue under the Enforcement Act of 1870, which has since lapsed.
37% : As Congress prepares to do its duty, validate the Electoral College vote, and declare Donald Trump the 47th President of the United States, the bitter-clingers pushing the discredited "Trump is an insurrectionist" trope are making a final push to have their peculiar theory taken seriously.
36% : If the same people trying to put Trump in jail over storing documents at Mar-A-Lago won't investigate the "trumped up" insurrection charge, that indicates they don't think it is provable.
36% : When faced with that roadblock, the same folks who are terribly concerned about the fate of our "democracy" (FACT CHECK: we don't have a democracy, but you be you) want to subvert the will of the majority of American voters and use chicanery to prevent Trump from being elected.
34% : "The theory goes like this: Trump is an insurrectionist.
34% : The bottom line is there is zero evidence of any proceeding anywhere that has found Trump to be an "insurrectionist."
32% : The court did not address the finding that Trump had engaged in insurrection.
31% : The inescapable conclusion of this evidence is that Trump engaged in insurrection against the Constitution.
26% : Solution: Corrupt the Vote Counting ProcessThe irony of the authors proposing to do what they accuse Trump of having done in 2020 is sweet.
25% : While the committee issued a criminal referral charging Trump with "insurrection," what is notable is that this charge was not accepted by Merrick Garland's Justice Department, which appointed a special counsel to investigate other referrals by the January 6 committee.
24% : All of this is a waste of time, as the Colorado case does nothing to bolster the idea that Trump is guilty of "insurrection.
23% : The Constitution disqualifies insurrectionists from holding office, so Trump cannot be president.
18% : On Jan. 13, 2021, then-President Trump was impeached for "incitement of insurrection."
17% : Trump vs. AndersonThe second contested proceeding was the Colorado five-day judicial due process hearing where the court "found by clear and convincing evidence that President Trump engaged in insurrection as those terms are used in Section Three."
