“The legal theories are based on Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.”

That is a rather incomplete and misleading summary of what the 14th Amendment states.

The 14th also gives Congress enforcement powers. Not state courts or election officials.

Enforcement of the 14A resides in Congress and nowhere else.

Correct. We all know the 14th amendment was for the purpose of authorizing homosexual marriages.

MO: it wasn’t a insurrection. It was a rally that was infiltrated with left-wing Trump haters including any cabal on the ‘take’.

That was placed in there to disallow Democrats who fought the Civil War from the slave States and has nothing to do with with anything related to any time after that.
