The Supreme Court’s recent decision to take a case challenging how the Justice Department prosecutes January 6 rioters has already put on hold several rioters’ sentencings and could affect hundreds more cases—including Donald Trump’s.
So if an armed and violent group were to break down the doors and windows of the Supreme Court while it was in session with the announced intent to disrupt their proceedings and possibly commit bodily harm to the justices and their staff and personnel, that’s all cool?
You’d have a point if the Trumpist right were at all concerned with principle, logic or integrity. Fascists use a veneer of words and argument only as a distraction and to buy time while they seize power for themselves. So yes, they’d be in an indefensible position, but in the end that doesn’t matter because they have no serious interest in defending it.

That just sounds like a peaceful tour to me.
Oh no, not if it happens to them. Then it would be a coup.

…until it is done.
