and it's a big but, maybe it clears the way for Pence to be the sole "decider", if you will, on invocation of 25A. Meaning it would actually be easier to remove Shulmp.

We cannot look the other way and turn a blind eye to such reckless undermining of the core tenants of our country.

If we do not hold each and every person, from Trump down, fully responsible we're actively condoning the last 4 years.

Trump, his enablers, and his supporters must pay a price for the past 4 years, letting them off the hook makes us all guilty of treason.

These winners aren't going to 25th:
Ross
DeVos
Carson
Perdue
Pompeo
Ratcliffe
Meadows

Who would?
Haspel
Pence
Mnuchin?

The rest of them are ciphers. Eugene Scalia?

Pence kinda implied he's not interested in invoking the 25th amendment, but I suspect it's still on the table, and they may even be preparing the preliminary paperwork.

These are some weird days we're living through.
