This is not a good idea...the tables will turn
This kind of jackleg constitutionalism is a blunt instrument. What’s to prevent a different judge from disqualifying for public office another local official who, say, participated in a Black Lives Matter riot — or some other protest that turned violent?
The judge in New Mexico who disqualified a county commissioner and threw him out of office for his actions on January 6. The judge reckoned it was an insurrection — without so much as “boo” from a jury* — and banned him from office for life under the 14th Amendment.

The judge won't like it when it hits the fan. it's not likely that he will still have enough armed security if Martial Law is ever declared.

WOW, this country has gone nuts. Maybe its time to scrutinize these judges. I bet there social media accounts are full of support for leftist run events.

I don't know if this will stand. He wasn't charged with nothing remotely close to insurrection.
