Two thoughts that slightly cut against each other:

1. On the one hand, this isn't the time to re-litigate everyone's behavior over the past few years. Everyone now willing to step up in defense of democracy and the Constitution should be welcomed. Better late than never.

2. On the other hand, this isn't the time to "turn the page" or "move on." We shouldn't duck responsibility for holding people accountable for what they've done in recent days and weeks--and for what might happen over the next two weeks.

3. We can begin to "turn the page" and "move on" after January 20th. Now, the 25th amendment or impeachment and conviction need to be on the table. McConnell can remove Cruz and Hawley from committees. There should be pressure on Kevin McCarthy to step down as minority leader.

4. Executive branch officials--except those who are needed to prevent worse things from happening--should consider resigning. So should staff for pro-mob rule members of Congress. We don't need to look backwards too much now, but we do need to take this moment very seriously.
