    I’m a little out of the loop, serious question, was he ever actually convicted of organizing an insurrection?

    Edit: I’m not an American but apparently asking questions makes you “the enemy” over there. Jesus Christ your country is fucked.

      There’s no requirement that he was previously convicted of insurrection - that’s a separate charge and carries a higher bar. The constitution only requires that the court concludes as part of this case that he was involved in an insurrection. And there’s a wealth of evidence showing that he was so the courts will almost certainly come to that conclusion.
