An idea that's time has come. And not the only one.

Im so glad im not a hypocritcal tool like you

So........snark is all you have. Your worthless contribution is noted.

This is an extraordinary case. Besides, I would argue the J6 committee's work was invaluable in the public's understanding of the details of trump's plot to steal the election.

Time that would have been better spent addressing the problems of the people on the street.

You know....maybe making the "rich" actually pay their fair share?

I commented on the OP already, dummy. You ignored that. But boy did those snowflake tendencies come out with my second post

Clearly, as evidenced by events that have taken place during trump 2.0, the prez's absolute pardon power either needs dramatic reform or a constitutional amendment to end it. It isn't the only thing badly in need of reform

Republicans will of course oppose any such reforms, amending the Constitution in particular.

There’s no repairing the rule of law or the damage Trump and Republicans have done.

I can only imagine the blank stares of utter disbelief if the Founders were told one day a prez who lost an election would try to steal it. And following the failed attempt would be re-elected.

There was a time when I would have bet pretty much anything that America was better than this. But Trump has proven me wrong.

It took me five or six years to come to terms with that. But the cat's out of the bag now. He's definitely beaten me on that, even if things don't go well for him in the future.

Many of the Democrats pardons were every bit as corrupt.

Our issues preceded Trump.

We aren't going to agree on this. Public hearings on things like the 2020 plot, Watergate, Iran-Contra, are important to enhance the public's understanding of seminal events.

Well, no, but that isn't to say some where highly questionable and never should have been given. Making the case for reform all the stronger.

Sure. I look at all this sociologically. So much of what we're seeing now was under the surface, and he came along and let it out. And that includes the way we have so misapplied capitalism in way that has created these massive wealth disparities. A lot of people have been miserable for a long time, and they figured he (of all freakin' people) would "save" them.

But mostly because weaknesses and loopholes in our system were always there. It took trump to try to exploit them so thoroughly.

People understand. Democrats spent their time making people "understand" as opposed to fulfilling campaign promises.

"yes, we aren't going to fulfill our promises but look how bad they are".

You know, Trump doesn't win if Democrats actually did what they say they will do.

Obama sent James Clapper out to lie to the American people under oath about his unconstitutional spying of the American people.

Obama sent his minions out on a Sunday morning to lie about the Benghazi absolute blunder.

No, it wasn't under the surface.

Both sides are not ‘the same.’

The thread is about the corruption, criminality, and contempt for the rule of law unique to Trump and the GOP – and the fact that Republicans will oppose any attempt at reform, oppose any effort to address the damage to the rule of law both have caused.

-Permit the intelligence community inspector general to report directly to Congress without going through the general counsel of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. In August 2019, on the advice of the Justice Department, then-Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire withheld a whistleblower complaint from the intelligence committees, despite the fact that the intelligence community inspector general had deemed it to be an “urgent concern”. On Sept. 9, Inspector General Michael Atkinson informed the House Intelligence Committee of the complaint’s existence. He wrote that while the director of national intelligence was not required to transmit a complaint to Congress solely on the basis of the inspector general’s determination, the director’s “treatment of the Complainant’s alleged ‘urgent concern’ does not appear to be consistent with past practice.” In response, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff subpoenaed the director for the complaint and demanded his testimony. The law can be amended to make clear that the intelligence community inspector general may report directly to Congress.

Given that Gabbard is a trump hack, as all members of the regime are, bypassing her office regarding IG reports would be essential.

Lol democrats talking about the founders is a level of irony I didnt think I would see today

Hypocrisy party! Everybody dance!

Anything you refuse to condemn your guy for will only get worse with the next.

If someone in the Trump administration blew the whistle on an Unconstitutional program and Trump went after that person, you would condemn that.

Democrats didn't complain when that happened to Snowden.

Democrats have had plenty of opportunity to enact reform.
