For those people in denial, a judge had a Finding of Fact in an American Court case, that Trump engaged in Insurrection.

Yep! Brilliant move. Now any higher court has to treat that as a fact. No take backsies.

In either case, this was getting appealed, but now Trump is factually an insurrectionist. I am here for it.

So you can’t appeal a finding of fact? I was under the assumption everything was up for challenging

I'm still afraid of Bush vs Gore 2.0 but all it takes is 5/9 to do the right thing

I don't understand how important a finding of fact is, could you explain why this is valuable beyond Colorado? I want to be excited about it as well.
