MN Supreme Court to decide today whether Whiny should be off the ballot

5. When the insurrectionist barrier was applied post-Civil War

Confederates were excluded wholesale, no convictions required. They had rebelled against the U.S.A.

The U.S. Army was the force in possession of the administrative and often legal apparatus of the South. It was run by General Grant in Washington. He appointed Army personnel as agents. They usually made decisions. No SCOTUS or courts involved. Like most officials in Louisiana were tossed from office. This loosely from the book, newly released, "Klan War" by Fergus M. Bordewich.

Where that leaves us today is anyone's guess. Will SCOTUS conservatives refuse to see what they saw on Jan 6th? If his underlings were doing political things outside their official duties to overturn the election results, and that is what they've been charged with, some of them, or did they already cop that plea?, then Whiny is along for the ride. It's as good as insurrectionist in my mind.

BTW, WHINY is a great name. Almost like a trademark because it fits so well. Shout it from the rooftops.
