They’re right. If the Court can arraign (and imprison)congressional members, then the federal government will lose the independence of one of its branches.

The executive and the judges (appointed by the executive) will put an end to opposition.

The only safe recourse to congressional corruption is for the people to throw the rascals out.

If they don’t, then they get the kind of government they deserve.

Voting them out of office, even when possible, won’t fix the problem. They need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law as soon as they are out. This must include executives as well as legislators.

I disagree. We have sent dozens of conservatives to congress only to find most go wobbly if not rino. Clearly, our ruling institutions have been corrupted from their 1787 purpose.

It is way past time to restore congress, and that means returning to federalism. Repeal the 17A via Article V before we can’t.
