      True, but also that is why this was never the proper forum for that. If you don't have a basis to throw out the electors, there are other ways to raise election integrity issues that don't involve convincing people the election was stolen.https://twitter.com/KatiePavlich/status/1346999540017225729 …

      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.

      Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jacob T. Levy

      Both are bad, for different reasons. Attacks on private property have more direct victims, who suffer disproportionate damage to their livelihoods, often to businesses they built with years of sweat. Attacks on the governing system have more broad, destabilizing effects.https://twitter.com/jtlevy/status/1347204954637938693 …

      Dan McLaughlin added,

      Jacob T. Levy @jtlevy
      A whole lot of “a republic not a democracy” folks out here pretending not to see any difference between mobs attacking private property (which is bad!) & mobs attacking the res publica, the public thing, meaning not only the building but the institutions and procedures it houses.

          Quite so. I made this same point yesterday. They're both awful, but in different ways. And the symbolism of some penny-ante jackboot with a pelt on his head standing on the dais of the Senate is much more damaging than a photo of a random liquor store getting torched.
