He apparently has been claiming some idiotic "technicality" of never having been charged or convicted of such.

And it was already bad enough that the current SCOTUS majority kept waving away suits regarding the Sect. 3 of the 14th Amendment, only reluctantly allowing Couy Griffin from the state of NM, to be thrown off the ballot for just that reason of "insurrection".

That opinion included this nonsense (from the above link) -

Though the Supreme Court ruled this month that states don’t have the ability to bar Trump or other candidates for federal offices from the ballot, the justices said different rules apply to state and local candidates.

“We conclude that States may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold state office,” the justices wrote in an unsigned opinion.


And what that was refrencing was this - Supreme Court restores Trump to ballot, rejecting state attempts to ban him over Capitol attack
