Yes, I’ve often looked at Trump and thought….Robert E Lee reincarnated, orange git.
Yes it will end up in the Supreme Court, but it wasn’t the “senior election officer” it was the Maine “ Secretary of State”. It wasn’t an unelected apolitical civil servant, it was an elected official.
A democrat blocking a republican (debatable) candidate.
Well I refer you to my opinion.
Which is a bit disappointing from you, as it’s a shut up and shut down tactic. I think given the actions of the democrats in the last 2-3 yrs, it’s a valid observation.

The constitution doesn’t define insurrection so narrowly.
Almost everyone is elected to office in the US, or else is directly appointed by someone who was elected. Even local and state legal officials. I happen to think it’s a weakness rather than a strength in their system but it is what it is.
Nevertheless …
‘Outcome X suits group A, therefore group A caused outcome X’ is a logical fallacy of the highest order. I’m sorry if you find my refusal to entertain it disappointing, however you’ve made a charge that requires evidence, not insinuations of bad faith.
