    Not that I really know anything about this but isn’t this a state’s rights issue? Don’t states determine their own ballets? Anyway, this will be interesting to watch. I’d like to think we can’t be sure of the results.

    No matter how it goes, I think this will be damaging to the GOP which is fine by me. They married the criminal and I am sure there are those who wish to cut him loose and those who can’t give him up.

      Participation in an insurrection is disqualifying under the US Constitution, so it very much is not a states’ rights issue. The question is what standard of evidence is required.
