This is fine but if we want to do this we need Democratic leaders saying NOW that they are going to do it.
Building the political will to rebuild the constitution starts now. And no one is doing it.

If there is a Dem Congress and President, I think the best route is much simpler. Congress can pass, and the President sign, ordinary legislation declaring that Trump's pardons are void, and then strip courts' jurisdiction to review. And then send the cops to get them.
Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

I keep hearing people say that THIS time there will be accountability. But I want to know HOW given the inevitable sweeping pardons Trump is gonna grant to everyone involved. Is some state AG going to prosecute Hegseth under state law? Which state would have jurisdiction?

Sadly, @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social, it wasn’t only Trump who Biden, Garland, Monaco, etc. failed to hold accountable for January 6. It was literally ALL of the political elites who collaborated w/ him to overthrow our government.

Donald Trump incited an insurrection on J6. He should never have been able to run for public office again. What a failure of justice to not hold this man accountable.

You think it won't, couldn't possibly, happen this time, in the face of all *this*, but I promise you: it will. Unless there is an enormous, sustained, absolutely dogged push from below -- starting now, honestly -- that is what will happen. That's how the machine works, that's how it's built.

"Move on." That was the cry. Oh, Republicans fucked everything up, got millions of people killed, tanked the economy? Let's not dwell on it. Let's not be consumed with petty vindictiveness. Let's be the bigger people, look forward, pull the country back together. Time for healing. Etc.

It's difficult to imagine now -- much like it was difficult for me to imagine during Bush II in the wake of the disastrous Iraq war, the disastrous Katrina response, the disastrous economy -- but the second these monsters are out of power, the soothing cries of "look forward, not back" will begin.

Let me put this more productively: there was considerable public fury toward previous Republicans for lies, crimes, misbegotten wars, etc. But it ran up against the *enormous, extremely powerful* forces defending elite impunity. And the latter forces won, decisively. It was barely a fight.

Ok but the Dems need to run on a platform that signals a break with the status quo and the need to do big things and if you have another idea for that besides Dem socialist policies I'm all ears but I don't think you do so yeah Dems should be running on that platform.

This investigation of serious election fraud became a travesty right through to the bitter end as almost everyone involved got something fundamentally wrong, starting with Merrick Garland and his enablers who refused to investigate it in time.

While AG Garland has FINALLY started getting more criticism for his handling of the 1/6 investigation, he also deserves scorn for ignoring Trump’s "find me 11,780 votes" call to GA, which was even more of a slam-dunk FED. crime (52 U.S.C. § 20511(2)(B)) than a STATE crime.

Let me tell you what the upshot is from the now-dropped Georgia January 6 case:
A rich white man can with impunity plot to overthrow our government with 18 co-defendants—in a plot with a death toll—if a Black woman involved in the investigation had inadvisable sex.
*That* is how racist America is.
