      In 1848, when Chartist protests presented a potential threat to the stability of the British government, the nation's elite - former & future prime ministers Peel & Gladstone, 1/2 of the House of Lords - joined a throng of ordinary Britons to take to the streets & preserve order.

      Democracy can be messy & unruly, full of overheated rhetoric & angry protests. And that's fine. But there are lines that must not be crossed. And we depend upon the character of our leaders to police those lines.

          The irony is, if the Capitol was not attacked and mobbed today, Senators and House members would have laid out and explained why they believe election irregularities must be investigated for all of America to see. Now, that won’t happen.
