I think that as long as you do not see your name on any of those lists, you are doing okay :)

One of my senators voted to void PA electoral votes. Rick Scott is the businessman whose company defrauded Medicare of millions of dollars. Although some people went to jail, he did not. Instead, he became a two term governor for Florida and now a Senator. It is embarrassing to live in this state. :evil:

I'm impressed that only one of Indiana's senators, Mike Braun, was planning to object to the result--and even he retracted his support for the objection after what happened.

It's good to see that my state's Republicans in congress have something resembling a shred of principles and standards.

Meaning they'll now be lambasted as liberal RINOs for the rest of their political career.

True. In fact, fear of losing friends was a major factor in me voting for Biden.

Shouldn't they all be arrested?

Tommy Tuberville certainly has some explaining to do:

Trump and Giuliani were reaching out to Tuberville - during the attack - to delay the counting of electoral votes:

Do you have a list of those who performed identical actions in the past? I believe the last 3 times the same challenges occurred were:

It's surprising that a practice with such a precedent has only become "sedition" at this point in time. I wonder if there is any common factor among the past examples which is different this year, other than the names of the candidates, which may account for the sudden claims of "sedition"?

Rather than splitting hairs defining the word sedition, it might be more productive to find the names of the rebublican congressmen who took members of the military on a secret reconnaissance mission a few days before the break in.

There is overwhelming evidence the MAGAs staked out the building with assistance from members of the GOP which means these congressmen need to join the MAGA terrorists in jail.

So, what you're saying is that we should ignore a situation that had years of precedent without "complaint" suddenly being termed "sedition" and instead ask why someone was accused of incitement for an event that had been planned several days before the "incitement" occured?

That is an interesting one...

When the all the accused are bought before the justice system then (yes) the legal eagles can make their case on behalf of the clients and for the state.
