DENVER (AP) – Attorneys for former President Donald Trump argue that an attempt to bar him from the 2024 ballot under a rarely used “insurrection” clause of the Constitution should be dismissed as a violation of his freedom of speech.

    Also, did they just admit that January 6th was an insurrection attempt and not a peaceful tourist viait?

    Not American law expert, but I believe each side is permitted to use evidence brought to case by the other party. So… yes??

    Also - by this logic every trespasser who is shot was just exercising their freedom of speech, every terrorist on domestic soil was just expressing the same freedom. If allowed, this would open a number of avenues.
