A court can’t just take judicial notice that she was engaged in an insurrection – that’s a fact that has to be proven, and proven in a criminal context. With officers in the CSA, a court could simply take notice that they were an enrolled officer in the Alabama 5th Regiment or whatever – and then that fact established they were involved in an insurrection. Here, even though she absolutely was being an insurrectionist, a court can’t just say “oh, okay, that solves this, you were an insurrectionist and are off the ballot.”
This goes no where. And going no where is the right result. It is not a stretch at all to have some Republicans flip the script and say “hey, this antifa dude was throwing a molotov at a court house, which is an insurrection.” There has to be due process on this point, much as she’s an idjit.
