“The judge ruled that Griffin is ‘barred for life’ from serving as an elected official, effective immediately, under the Fourteenth Amendment because he took part in the ‘insurrection after taking his oath.'”

You are saying that an actual Judge made a “fine nfing of fact” that January 6 was an insurrection, and reached the level required by the Constitution to bar someone.

That is significant.
