I will give you naïveté again (and again ad nauseam): Why are we having to put up with seditionists in our chambers. Why do we not get rid of these anti-Americans instead of pretending we are trying to work with a party that hates democracy? What is the point? There is one easy way to stop this fragility-- slap lawsuits on all of the who signed the sedition paper and promoted insurrection and the Big Lie that stated our last election was illegal when it was not. Let Truth and Justice prevail against the party of Sedition and lies. I apologize that I am so naive to think such thoughts.

When we get rid of them, where will we put them, and who will replace them? To each his/her own naiveté. I agree the Justice Dept. should go after them, no holds barred, and anyone who was injured or otherwise messed with during the insurrection should lawyer up and go for it. As for Truth and Justice, our Supreme Court will have the last word, unfortunately. But if we think enough thoughts, one will be the thought of thoughts that will save us from ourselves. I hope.

I fear the Supreme Court is, has been for a long time, and will continue to be, one of our biggest problems, as it seems to have been for the last 50 years. (Adam Cohen: Supreme Injustice). I am horrified at what I am learning, and will continue to be extremely concerned at its influence over our lives, support for big money, and indifference to lesser mortals.

I agree, but there are a number of problems that can only be solved by Constitutional amendment. This venerable document is really showing its age.

We have a phenomenal candidate to replace our seditionist congressman for northern Michigan and the U.P. - someone actually from our state instead of Louisiana (the guy bought a cabin here shortly before the election. Is that a key Republican strategy?). Maybe they will take him back.
