    Full quote:
    “Your vote doesn’t count more than anyone else’s. You don’t get to cancel them out, call for a war, because you don’t like the results of an election,” she said. “You call yourself a patriot? That’s not patriotism. Patriotism is loyalty to country, loyalty to the Constitution, not loyalty to a single head of state. That’s the tyranny we rejected on July 4, 1776.”

    I'm sure that judge is being vilified and getting threats from the maga mob for that statement....

    Mo Brooks is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Eric Swalwell over his part in the Jan 6 riot. His defense: I don’t do drugs, have a DUI, or ever cheated on my wife. An excellent defense demonstrating desperation and creativity.

    Well, I, for one, am definitely sure he’s innocent based upon that statement. They should ask anyone accused of a crime if they meet that criteria. If the answer is yes, they should be let go free and clear.

    It is an uncomfortable read, but we have a responsibility to those who defended our democracy to listen to their stories.

    Officer Mike Fanone Survived Jan. 6. Then His Trials Began

    5 cops dead. 140 injured. Sounds like a battle to me.

    Zoe Tillman is covering Scott Fairlamb's sentencing hearing now (thread)



    She also has some aggregate data, which Marcy adds to. I recommend reading both threads and following both if you want to learn what is happening with these prosecutions:

    It was a "lovefest" not a battle. Get it right.

    Government is reserving the right to add the terrorism "sweetener" charge to the convicted. Could turn 4 year sentences into 10.
