    A conviction of sedition would automatically disqualify him from any office:

    “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” -14th Ammendment

      Fair point, but I don’t think they’re going to get him on that. I agree it’s worth the trial just to try to have justice served, I’m just not very optimistic about it.
