In practice, it goes eventually to the Supreme Court which, like the Republican Party, has been Trumpified and therefore will see no problem, case closed.
Even that would be an improvement on the up-in-the-air situation we’re in right now. They would have to provide guidelines for what exactly constitutes insurrection in order to make a ruling.
