...then the prosecution of charges against him for insurrection would have moved forward quickly. Don't tell me the justice department could not have flown its presidential flag high enough to get court dates, choose favorable judges, publicize its evidence and get this thing to trial a couple of months after Congress handed them a mountain of evidence. I've read through that Congressional investigation report more than once. If that couldn't have convicted him in a court of law, then there would be legitimate reason to claim there is no justice in this country.

Had he been found guilty of insurrection, according to the constitution, he could not have run for office again, and the GOP would be left trying to figure out. among their various assorted failures who have done nothing but hang on his coattails, who their nominee would be.

And as soon as the Supreme Court issued its ridiculously anti-Constitutional presidential immunity ruling, the Democrats would have broken the filibuster, and packed the court like they should have done when we had majorities in both houses during the first half of Biden's term. The fact that they did not do this will go down as a historic mistake. If we do lose our democracy as a result of these failures, that's where history will put the bookmark.
