If your rules don't include checks and consequences against those who have no regard for the rules, then you don't have rules.

If such checks and consequences exist, and those charged with imposing them lack the will or the ability to do so, then they don't exist.

As we see.

@JuliusGoat the consequences should have been not getting re-elected. If your voters still want these people in office, you have a different kind of problem.

@Dubikan In a healthy society the punishment for crime is being charged with the crime and facing trial.

@JuliusGoat maybe we're not talking about the same things. I thought you were referring to GOP congressmen who supported and aided Jan6

@JuliusGoat what crimes did they commit?

@Dubikan Nope. Sorry. No patience for sealioning here. They aided and abetted insurrection and attempted coup on January 6. If you think the only consequence for insurrection should be "they get voted out of office," then you're an exemplar of the point I'm driving at.
