… in other words gaetz and company are admitting (knowingly or unwittingly) that

• trump is an insurrecionist
• trump is very likely to lose at the supreme court in his colorado 14th amendment appeal hearing
• that the plain text reading of section 3 of the 14th amendment says congress can waive the condition (but only if 2/3 of both houses agree to waive the condition)

the funny thing is how when this passes the house, it won’t be anywhere close to the 290 they need but they’ll try to act as though it’s binding. and they’re doing this before the hearing, where the plaintiff’s attorney and/or the colorado solicitor general can point out that since the house and senate have initiated resolutions declaring trump not an insurrectionist that the colorado supreme court ruling should hold since the congress has started the process of returning trump to the ballot.

and if I a non law talkin guy could see this and figure it out then so should the supreme court. especially if someone points that out to them.
