Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "Trump had an entire section of his SCOTUS brief arguing he was peaceful on 1/6," Katyal said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
40% : "That by itself sends a powerful message underlining that every fact finder to address the question [of insurrection] has found that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection," he said.
34% : "Crucially, the Court did *not* exonerate Trump of insurrection.
32% : ""The Court should also reverse because nothing that President Trump did in response to the 2020 election or on January 6, 2021, even remotely qualifies as 'insurrection,'" the brief reads.
30% : However, the court not only split over how the disqualification clause should be enforced but also opted out of weighing in on whether or not Trump engaged in insurrection, despite having the chance to do so.

22% : Surely, that identical argument applies in the immunity case, namely that Americans have a right to know if Donald Trump abused the official powers that he is trying to regain.
21% : The Supreme Court's failure to address whether Trump was an insurrectionist caught the eye of legal observers who noted that the majority opinion from the Colorado Supreme Court said that Trump was essentially asking the courts to rule that the disqualification clause applies to every office "except the highest one in the land.
