It seems obtuse not to post something about the House January 6th Special Committee hearings so I'll say this. Things are being confirmed that we knew were happening as they happened, indeed even before they happened. And if
we knew about them, so must have all the members of the ex-president's party who were willing to assist, or stand aside, as he took his attack on American democracy to the next level, members at national, state and local levels. How can their faith in institutions, in democracy, even in truth, have been so thoroughly eroded? Co-conspirators so many were, and still are.
The
warning from retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig, who sees that the ex-president was a symptom of a deeper rot, is chilling. Let's pray some answer his call: “only the party that instigated this war over our democracy can bring an end to that war."
