A panel on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that members of Congress who are found to have participated in an insurrection can be barred from holding public office, in a case brought forth against Rep. Madison Cawthorn. A group of voters brought forth a case arguing that theRepublican was ineligible for future public service because he had spoken at former President Trump's 'Save America' rally ahead of the Jan. 6 riot.Cawthorn argued the case was moot because he's already conceded the race to state Sen. Chuck Edwards, but the court determined it was not because the election has not yet been certified and because the same issue could come up in another campaign.
