These actions constituted overt, voluntary, and direct participation in the insurrection."

The problem with that assertion is that there is a valid Constitutional argument that the Vice President is in fact empowered to decline to count or accept electoral votes when there is evidence of fraud. Most importantly, All Trump was asking Pence to do was delay counting until the fraud claims could either be verified or disproven. The opinion of the Colorado Supreme Court is ridiculously impotent and entirely one-sided.
