> That’s not how the law works. **Someone** has to enforce the law. Who does the enforcement, and how, and who determines what constitutes what insurrection is? Who determines what “aid or comfort” is? You’re making it sound really easy when it’s not. Read the articles I posted earlier.

This is also similar to Trump’s abuse of the Emoluments clauses, which he totally disregarded while enriching himself. He violated that in multiple ways, but there is no statute to enforce it, so what could anyone do about it?
