Learning. Second only to love, has to be the most important thing to making the most of life. Thank you Dr. Richardson for this opportunity to keep on learning.

I'll add my thanks, too. Reading HCR, I've learned so much about the nation's history that I should have known. And, most importantly, it's how the past links directly to the present.

Meanwhile, the hearings of the select House committee investigating the insurrection are shaping up to be a watershed development. Big question: how will potential witnesses who are members of Congress try to avoid testifying so they don't perjure themselves? Another big question: how far will Nancy Pelosi go to compel them? Related: does anyone, including the professor, know of any similar situations in the past?

Susan McDougal, President Clinton's adviser went to prison for 22 months, 18 of which were for contempt of court. She refused to testify at a grand jury hearing. I have wondered all through this deal with trump why, when people refuse to testify after being subpoenaed, they are not prosecuted for contempt of court! Throw their butts in jail!!!
