    EXCERPT:

    GRISWOLD: "I think that's one of the big concerns from this decision. The majority of the Supreme Court decided Congress could act. But this Congress is almost non-functional, so the likelihood of that is very low. That means that if there is an oath-breaking insurrectionist running for any federal office, they basically have just freedom to run without any consequence. The purpose of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, at least in my view, is to safeguard the country from insurrectionists taking office and destroying democracy from within. So I think it’s really concerning, given that this Congress is so unlikely to take any type of real action on the matter."
