I don't think treason against America protects someone running for POTUS. How could they have a right via our democracy when they are anti-democracy? Not happening in this country. Go Merrick, after Thursday, show us some muscle against authoritarianism.

That’s it in a nutshell: planning to overturn a lawful election IS treason, and announcing a candidacy does not grant immunity.

Trump is betting it will. He’s shown us how toothless our “laws and norms” really are. Everything is ok for rich white men. Again, no action has stopped him, nor his ilk. He knew we would dissolve into a navel-gazing puddle trying to hold him accountable. That’s his joy. And the frenzied joy of his supporters. “Owning the Libs!” They just laugh and laugh. Democracy? What Democracy? Who need Democracy when it’s YOUR strongman in charge?
