Their evaluation was quick and, it could be argued, not very thorough. I personally believe that it was insurrection and treason. However, I worry about the precedent these sorts of rulings have. At the end of the day, it's the rule of law that will keep Trump and his gang of merry fascists from destroying the country. The rule of law needs to be upheld even when the absence of a fair process is hurting bad actors.
