There is now discussion of the mob possibly trying to force their way into the Capitol after they are "inspired" by IT at his 11:00 a.m. address.

I certainly hope there's a prominent place setting for Impeachment proceedings at the table and that the meal is served forthwith. Enough is enough. We're either a nation that abides by the Rule of Law or we aren't. Now's the time to make it very clear which one prevails.
If this is not done, history will make it clear that those with the power to do so did nothing and allowed the abomination to repeat itself in a not too distant future.
It is not about revenge it is about justice.
