I have no problem with all the hyperbole given the time we are in.

I mean Flake acted all put out like that then rolled over with the SC pick. Alexander came out and flat said 45 was guilty, the voted to acquit.

It works to our advantage to play the moment up to illustrate that there is a possibility, admittedly VERY remote, that a republic can act with honor.
