    While Trump has not been charged with insurrection, Castro is pointing to Trump’s role in the January 6 Capitol riot.

    Because he hasn’t been charged, the outcome will probably be 7 to 2

      Given the extremely barebones wording of the law and the lack of any conviction, I will be surprised if any resulting opinion were anything but unanimous or per curiam without dissent.

        I agree. And I honestly believe the opinion will indicate that Trump hasn’t been charged or convicted of a crime. Things may change, yet at the most he could be charged with insurrection prior to the court hearing the case. Regardless, I guarantee the court would grant Trump Due Process.
