If Trump is not tried for his conduct leading up to the Jan. 6 attacks, there will be empty pages in American history books to rival the absence of any trial of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Read more. ~/AASU4wA~/RgRoTATAP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvZ2k4ZTU3Yng3NC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTQxc2dkbDNzcGtXA3NwY0IKZmLCf2lmAd98G1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoTATAP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvNW41aTB0bXFocy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTQxc2dkbDNzcGtXA3NwY0IKZmLCf2lmAd98G1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoTATAP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvbWo5bTNrMDd6bS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTQxc2dkbDNzcGtXA3NwY0IKZmLCf2lmAd98G1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRoTATAP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvc2RuaGVod2N1Ni8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTQxc2dkbDNzcGtXA3NwY0IKZmLCf2lmAd98G1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo Alito's flags and a path to compromise From Amanda Marcotte: Alito's wife's flags are about declaring her fidelity to this Christian nationalist worldview. His comments in newly-released secret recordings show he fully agrees with his wife. When Windsor said, "People in this country who believe in God have got to keep fighting for that — to return our country to a place of godliness," Alito replied, "I agree with you." This shows that he's not only ignorant of the Constitution he claims to uphold but of the history of the nation he claims to love. There's no "place of godliness" to return to. The U.S. was founded as a secular nation. It has survived, in large part, because of the First Amendment's demands of plurality and tolerance, which have been a check on religious conflict. We only have problems now because so many people, including Alito, have talked themselves into an ahistorical claim that they should be allowed to impose their beliefs on others. Someone who so profoundly rejects a founding principle of the nation has no right to be sitting in judgment of its laws. [Read the rest](~/AASU4wA~/RgRoTATAP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9hLnBvc3QubGhkLmxpbmsvMXhidWQwdXVldy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTQxc2dkbDNzcGsmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZmLCf2lmAd98G1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
