20. "You don't get a license to be a contractor, despite not meeting the qualifications"

You also don't get Courts or anyone else to rule on those qualifications until they apply for the license. The possibility that someone WILL apply for a Contractor's license in the future is not the basis for a judgement.

Arguably, everyone convicted for January 6th should also be ineligible but we're not ruling on their eligibility at this point because none of them are a candidate for Federal office.
