"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."

I'm not a US constitutional lawyer, but here's my layman's reading of it:
If the Supreme Court decides 6 January was "insurrection or rebellion" against the United States.
And if it decides Donny participated in it, "having previously taken an oath, as ... an officer of the United States" to "support the Constitution of the United States".
Then Donny can't 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".
The only way it can be lifted is if Congress votes to lift it "by a vote of two-thirds of each House".
I get the feeling Nikki Haley is secretly hoping that happens...
