MODERATORS
For sure they presented and debated evidence about whether Trump actually participated in an insurrection, and to what extent. But this court wasn't deciding whether Trump is guilty of a crime. It was deciding if the state can limit Trump's ability to appear on the ballot. A criminal conviction would require a trial and a focused scope. This is not the due process for that conviction.
