Since the clause itself doesn't define the elements of an insurrection, we


should maybe use common English:
A. the act or an instance of revolting esp. violently against civil or political authority or against an established government
B. the crime of inciting or engaging in such revolt [whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or against the authority of the United States

Of course, the purpose of the insurrection, in this case the overturning of an election, and the dismissal of millions of valid votes should be taken into account as well. This was a bit more than the storming of a post office or IRS office, in term of intent.
