The best way to restore our democracy is to restore justice.

That means that some people need to be arrested.

If that is too much to ask, then perhaps we have the wrong people in the job?

The first person that should be arrested is Rudy Guiliani, the strongest defender of the lies. Then they should arrest Don Trump, Jr, both for inciting sedition.

Make them defend themselves. This would send a strong message around the world, not just in our country.

Without justice, there can be no democracy.

We have to act quickly and judiciously.

They have been getting away with treason since Nixon because there have been NO consequences. This is the reason we are in this predicament. If Nixon and his henchmen had been held accountable, it would have set a precedent that crimes such as theirs will not be allowed to stand. Now we are miles ahead of the seemingly petty crimes of Watergate; if there are no consequences this time, all will likely be lost.
