I'll go even further. Who decides when an event or incident is an act of insurrection against the US Government?

It's not the courts, and most certainly NOT a state court, even a State Supreme Court.

It's not the Attorney General, state or federal.

It's not the US Senate.

It's not the US House of Representatives.

The US Insurrection Act of 1807 specifically states there is only person that can declare a state of rebellion or insurrection against the US Government.

The President of the United States!

On the day in question, Donald Trump was the President of the United States and he made no such declaration, that day or after.
