Sedition is not against the 14th Amendment as it is written. Insurrection is. Simple enough now? What occurred was Sedition if it were an insurrection millions of supporters would have been present and it was less than 700 who violated the law here known as Sedition. An insurrection is similar to a mutiny whereas more than half the ships crew takes over or attempts to take over the ship. Numbers here from this day are far from any insurrection, which is the violation per the 14th Amendment. Sedition is the violation. Again as I read the proper definition of each, they are not the same thing. That’s all I am saying here. You all can read and misinterpret it your way as well.

His point is that per the 14th amendment insurrection disqualifies you from holding office under the United States of America, but that no one has been convicted of insurrection.

Interesting, but invalid. The 14th amendment doesn't say you need to be convicted or even charged with insurrection. It's going to be a court by court argument.
