Impeach Amy Coney Barrett

Just remember that you heard it here first.  And by the way, impeach Trump's other two Supreme Court picks too.  These are all deeply corrupt right wing hacks who were put on the court by an illegitimate President who took office through an act of treason.  And particularly in the case of Barrett, she is judicially totally unqualified and a lunatic on top of it.  The first two took office after lying to the Senate about their real intentions once approved, and of course Barrett will do the same, if McConnell even bothers with hearings this time around.  Out with them.

Now to be a little more temperate here:  I believe that Biden, if elected, will do the right thing on virtually all issues, and will be infinitely better than any criminal the Republicans can find in the sewer that is their leadership.  But I am deeply afraid of one thing.  We have already, in the last half century or so, seen multiple instances of the deepest Republican treachery in the White House, and every time, Democrats have been intimidated or frustrated from demanding an accounting of Republican crimes.  Nixon, Reagan, Bush II and now Trump have all despoiled our government and so far have always gotten off scot free.  And the results have been the same every time: the next round of Republican abuse has been worse than what has come before, until now we are facing open treason, criminality and dictatorship staring back at us from within the White House.  Every time, the Republicans learn a little more about how to strip this country of any pretense of popular rule, until with Trump they are right on the edge of succeeding in their 50 year long deliberate quest to replace democracy with an oligarchic dictatorship.  Mark my words, if they are let off the hook now, it is almost guaranteed that they will succeed next time.  

And this is my concern:  Biden has already indicated that he has not learned his lesson from the last twelve years of Republican behavior, first toward the administration of which he was a part, then with what we have seen the last four years.  I am desperately afraid that Biden will force prosecutors to pull their punches, not allow a complete revelation of everything the government knows about Trump's treachery, and will consequently set the stage for the inevitable next Republican attempt to destroy the country.  Biden has a long history of weakness when it comes to standing up to the right (I was certainly aware of it when he was still in the Senate,) and I have no confidence that this time around things will be any different.  The result: even if we decisively defeat the Republicans on November 3rd, all that we will have accomplished will be to foist off on our children and our children's children the need to fight the battle that we should have fought and won.

This time around, the Republican party cannot escape without paying the price of its treachery, or all our suffering will have been for nothing.
