But it would keep the conflicts of interest and January 6th continually in the public eye.  January 6th was the lowest point in American democracy since the Civil War and Trump wanted to turn the US into an autocratic dictatorship and a substantial number of members of Congress wanted to help him do it.  
And the loonies have spent the last 18 months trying to purge the Republican party of those remaining members who DID do the right thing.  [/quote]

So here's the thing.  You're basically suggesting using constitutional processes and the power of the government to further a political party's agenda.  That is exactly what was happening in the prior administration.  Let's just stop doing that.  All of us, regardless of party.  [/quote]

So the Ds should just look the other way? Disregard corruption because it might benefit them?

Ridiculous given how the Rs have actually abused their powers for their own benefit and to support illegal behavior.

I'm not suggesting that nothing be done.  I'm supportive of the 1/6 commission, and any prosecutions that result.  I'm also supportive of everybody talking about it publicly, etc.  What I am not in favor of doing is impeaching a justice "for show" and to create spectacle.[/quote]

I agree.  No Supreme Court justice has ever been successfully impeached.  Another lost impeachment hearing will cost Democrats in the long run.   Shame him into retirement or charge his wife criminally or both.  Keep her conspiracy to overthrow our government in the news.[/quote]

I agree they should be absolutely shamed but they have none. So I’m ok with him being removed. But I am a former Senate employee who was working 1/6 and think [b]all involved[/b] are absolute garbage.[/quote]

100% agree with you that anybody who stormed the capitol is garbage.

I'm curious how you define "involved" though.  To me, it doesn't expand to include anyone who wanted Trump to serve another term and who litigated to advance that view.  (I mean , I have some choice words for these people too.  But it is of a kind different.)

How do you see Justice Thomas as being "involved"?[/quote]

Ginni was involved.

Her best friend may have voted to protect her.
