It's been said that one of the hallmarks of conservatism is the belief that nothing should
ever be done for the first time. We are not conservatives.
Why can't Democrats in Congress form a commission to fully investigate the January 6th insurrection despite the whining and screaming and objections of nearly all the Republicans? I believe Liz Cheney is the only one in her "party" to call for such a commission.
We should INVITE Republicans to join in the investigation, but make it clear that we will proceed WITHOUT them if they choose not to participate. There should be open hearings with subpoenaed witnesses testifying under oath. Any and all criminal acts uncovered should be referred to the DOJ for prosecution.
Any members of Congress found to have directly or indirectly aided and abetted the insurrectionists should be AT LEAST stripped of all committee memberships. If at all possible, they should face expulsion hearings.
I know some will scold me with "That's not the way things are done!". My response is "That's SO January 5th."
