What happens when 'We the People' goes wrong

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : The insurrection provision was inserted with an eye toward keeping former Confederate leaders out of power after the Civil War, but the language of the law does not limit its application to such figures.
39% : While a Colorado judge has for the moment blocked the attempt to bar Trump from seeking election in 2024, there is a reasonable reading of the law in question that would seem to justify his exclusion.
36% : There is a strong prudential argument against blocking Trump from the ballot -- that it would be seen as illegitimate, partisan interference and would undermine already weakened public confidence in our democratic processes -- but, surely, the law is on the books for a reason and would need to be enforced in some circumstance short of a would-be caudillo driving a tank up to the Capitol building and opening fire.
