The failure of justice will lead to the fall of democracy.
When common folks see politicians and people of high status escape punishment for their crimes, they lose faith in the system.
Justice is the glue that holds our democracy together.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the insurrectionists that attacked our Capitol are being abused by the system. They are nothing more than patriotic Americans, according to Greene and others in her camp.
This is dangerous ground on which we tread. These are the criminals that deserve special attention. They should not escape justice. They should be made examples of our justice system.
The damage that will be done if there is no justice is not known? But, it cannot be good.

3. Certainly A Possibility
MTG and her fellow crazies are startling in their right wing insanity.
We are at a crossroad. Do rational people win the day? It’s no certainty. I am encouraged by some sane republicans in Arizona saying enough is enough....finally.
You know how crazy they are by the large number of older republican politicians and pundits who have no use for them.....like Bill Kristol for example.

4. Arizona does give us hope.
They decided they did not want to be the scapegoats for a "fraudulent" election, which they were in charge of counting the votes.
