1）科州的裁決及緬因州的決定都是以美國憲法Section 3 of the 14th Amendment（第14修正案第三款關於禁止支持或參加叛亂的人獲得公職）為根據. 川普有沒有煽動叛亂不同立場的人有不同的結論. 這顯然也是分裂美國眾多的爭議之一. 川普有眾多的刑事官司在身，其中之一是聯邦特別檢察官Jack Smith 起訴川普企圖推翻2020年總統選舉結果的違法行為. 1月6日衝擊國會是這件官司控辯雙方必然要麵對的焦點之一. 這件官司還沒有進入審判階段. 所以在法律層麵上川普現在還沒有被法律判定有判亂罪. 現在就禁止川普參選，顯得理由不足. 畢竟無罪推定，Innocent Until Proven Guilty是一個法治社會最起碼的標誌.
相信聯邦最高法院的judge們正在working on it. 在美國，隻有憲法/法律，而不是政治，才是真正的擋箭牌。
"Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding 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.”
