Did you know that Congress has already determined, as a matter of law, that the Jan 6 Capitol attack was an insurrection?

And the vote was overwhelming: unanimous in the Senate and 406-21 in the House.

The legal finding was part of a bill passed on August 5, 2021 authorizing Congressional Gold Medals for Capitol Police officers who had protected the Capitol during the insurrection.

Public Law 117-32
117th Congress

An Act

To award four congressional gold medals to the United States Capitol
Police and those who protected the U.S. Capitol on January 6,
2021.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) Every day, the United States Capitol Police (``Capitol
Police'') protects the U.S. Capitol, Members of Congress,
congressional staff and institutional staff, journalists, and
the visiting public.
(2) On January 6, 2021, a mob of insurrectionists forced its
way into the U.S. Capitol building and congressional office
buildings and engaged in acts of vandalism, looting, and
violently attacked Capitol Police officers.
(3) The sacrifice of heroes including
Capitol Police Officers Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood,
Metropolitan Police Department Officer Jeffrey Smith, and those
who sustained injuries, and the courage of Capitol Police
Officer Eugene Goodman, exemplify the patriotism and the
commitment of Capitol Police officers, and those of other law
enforcement agencies, to risk their lives in service of our
country.
(4) Up to seven Americans died following this violent
attack, and more than 140 law enforcement officers suffered
physical injuries, including 15 officers who were hospitalized.
(5) The desecration of the U.S. Capitol, which is the temple
of our American Democracy, and the violence targeting Congress
are horrors that will forever stain our Nation's history.
(6) On April 2, 2021
Officer William ``Billy'' Evans was killed while protecting the
North Barricade of the Capitol. Officer Evans was a
distinguished member of the First Responders Unit and an
eighteen-year veteran of the United States Capitol
Police. Also injured in that assault
was Officer Kenneth Shaver. Officer Shaver is a fifteen-year

veteran of the United States Capitol Police.

So yes guys, it has been officially declared an insurrection.

Glad I could help.

So, no. It was an awards ceremony.

Sorry you missed it.

That’s a stretch.

But even if it were a determination of what the events of 1/6 can properly be labeled, it still doesn’t establish (nor could it) that President Trump engaged in it.

No Congress has not made any determination of an insurrection it takes both the house and Senate dumbass
 
I have, but this one is special, in my opinion,

Not really. This thread is pretty much par for CRAPitus.

Alright, explain what it means that they all voted for this, Stumpy.

(This oughta be good)
What, the bullshit medal thing? It was a feel good vote. It was not an adjudication. If you do not allow the accused to defend himself then there is a gross lack of due process. Second, the vote was not on the question “Did Trump commit the crime of insurrection?” And even if it was, that does not constitute an adjudication. Rather it is a political vote. Politicians vote for different reasons. I suspect that here they were voting to give a bunch of rent-a-cops a medal because … stuff.

You mean, I am sorry if you do not get how our system works, but you are just confirming what a fucking idiot you are. You even stunned me this time.
