Wow, I missed that. I still don’t think that kind of thing is likely to become the standard agenda for Democrats in Congress.
It is a bit of a close distinction between voting against certification, which while deserving of many bad adjectives should not be made illegal or censured, and advocating for violence and disruption of Democratic processes, which is illegal and should not be tolerated. As I have been saying to my FB friends, I am done calibrating what I say, or think the govt should do, for fear of how it will be distorted by lunatics on the far Right.
