Will a country that began by defeating a monarchy end up as one 250 years later?
"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can do much to help it…The freedom to do as one likes leads straight to its overthrow."The evidence is overwhelming that Donald Trump has been a menace to truth, law, and democracy.
This panel then has the potential to shape the narrative for the 2022 mid-term elections as well as conclusively establish the fact of Trump's treachery—as the Senate Watergate Committee did to Nixon. Also, due to long delays in federal contempt cases, the Select Committee could end up using the House's long-ignored"inherent power" to significantly fine those who refuse their subpoenas.
Garland finally did announce on January 5, 2022 that he"remains committed to holding all 1/6 perpetrators, at any level, accountable." Was this the time-buying observation of a Mueller-Redux or a thoughtful prosecutor building his case? Based on logic, law, and politics, it's likely the latter, perhaps waiting to show his cards until the Jan. 6 Committee shows its hand.
Biden did just that on the anniversary of January 6 with a late but fierce speech calling out his predecessor for his"unAmerican lies" and then again five days later demanding that GOP decide whether history will record them on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor. Fair or not, he now owns this fight since he'll get the blame if Trump's revanchism continues to corrupt American politics.
But what happens if any of these cases or the election result itself gets to the United States Supreme Court?It's getting more awkward for Federalist Society-approved nominees to call"balls and strikes" when they so often seem to be trolling for any technical reason to justify ideological preferences—i.e., what Court-watcher Linda Greenhouse calls judicial"gaslighting."
That's already plunged from 58% to 40% in the past two years—and could worsen as more jurists and commentators tell the truth out loud, as Sotomayor did. A majority of Republicans, for example, believe that vaccines and masks are personal gulags, mass school shootings an acceptable price for gun rights, reverse racism worse than racism, federal efforts to reduce child poverty"socialism", post-election audits needed to restore a loss of public confidence that they caused, climate change fake news, Hillary a criminal. Indeed, twice as many Republicans believe in ghosts and demons than believe that Biden legitimately won the presidency .
