What did we do between 2020 and 2022, when we had control of both houses of Congress and we could have brought the orange Nazi to trial and convicted him for inciting an insurrection, making him ineligible to run for office? We twiddled our thumbs, ho hummed, complained that pushing the issue through the incompetent Justice Department would have appeared political, and let Trump run the clock out with legal tactics only the rich can afford, making a mockery out of American justice, and out of the Democrats and the Biden administration.
We had the power. It would have required a little bit of risk taking, especially in ending the filibuster in the Senate in order to amend the Judiciary act and give Biden the opportunity to appoint five justices to the Supreme Court, hand picked, far left wing, anti-Trump idealogues, who would have rammed his trial through the courts in record time, saved Roe, overturned Citizens United and the ridiculous immunity ruling, and imposed self-policing ethics rules on the court that would have led to the resignations of the six corrupt Republican appointed justices.
But we didn't do it then. So what's the big deal about their security goons knocking a US Senator down for asking a question? Get used to it. No one wants to put a stop to it, or it would have happened already.
So when someone like David Hogg comes along, points to some of those ineffective, sissy, asleep at the wheel Democrats who wouldn't move their asses when they were needed, and says we need new leaders, I listen. He's right.
