Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley was raised in South Carolina.
Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley was twice elected governor of South Carolina.
Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley fully understands the history of her state. She fully understands that her state was where the Confederacy was born. Her state of South Carolina was the first to secede (and in its Declaration of Causes of Secession stated SLAVERY — not “states’ rights or “Southern Heritage” — as the reason for secession). Fort Sumter in her state was where the first shots of the Civil War were fired.
And when the Colorado Supreme Court upheld a finding of fact by the trial court that Donald Trump was guilty of having “engaged in insurrection” (the words in Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment), they cited extensive examples from debates and legal interpretations from those engaged in the debate and interpretation of its meaning.
Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment was not directed at rank-and-file Confederate soldiers who were trying to remain loyal to their states. It was directed at people like Robert E Lee or Jefferson Davis who were its primary leaders. It was noted at the time that those like Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America, had never been involved in any actual battle. His role, like those of others in his political administration, was administrative. The interpretations by those who wrote the Amendment defined being “engaged in insurrection” as including writings, speeches or other incitements to violent actions to overthrow the government.
