tl;dr: The users' comments say that a certain ISP is pirate-friendly. Studios want to use the comments against the ISP (not the users).

That is not a distinction actually made by section 3. Oath breakers are disqualified, not rebels per se.

There are probably good arguments why qualification for a federal office isn’t properly decided by a state judge or official.

State elections officials already do that for things like age, residency requirements, etc. It's part of federalism that the state governments administer federal elections.

“This is an unacceptable violation of the constitution,” said Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, a Washington Democrat and the chair of the Progressive Caucus. “Article 1 requires that military action be authorized by Congress.”

all citizens are legally entitled to the same rights

It's worth pointing out that, in general and throughout history, citizenship is something that separates the privileged from the unprivileged. The in-group from the outsider. The masters and the slaves.

Touting the rights of citizens, therefore, does not necessarily rebut the parent comment's criticism.
