7. As long as they are compelled to stand trial and actually be there? Yes... due process is necessary.

However, the second one of them refuses a Congressional subpoena or fails to appear for a court date? Arrests and detention pending trial are `100% necessary. I am not advocating for show trials either...I fully believe that in a fair trial they will lose on damn near every single issue and crime they are collectively committing.

What we must have is justice and what we cannot abide is the SCOTUS nullification of said justice for partisan effect.

Among the most pressing issues that MUST be addressed in the next adminstration is the rebalancing of the Supreme Court, the end of the Roberts Court through enlargement of the justices on the bench to nullify the stolen seats of Gorsuch and Comey-Barrett and a reform for ethics on the court that is not voluntary or subject to beign ignored.

Our system is built on the premise that we are a nation under laws and for 242 years of our 250 year existence, that principle was one that all Americans supported and believed in. I do not wish to side with Trump in the super-minority that believe the law can be ignored when its against my interests or desires...so all guilty MUST face trials and convictions.

But once they are convicted, sentencing must be swift and harsh and public for all to see the wages of this kind of sin against our republic. The price you pay for doing the bidding of a madman is the total loss of your freedom and permanent loss of your family's respect for their own name.
