The FUNDAMENTAL problem is....

There has been NO accountability for these coup-plotter insurrectionists who have no business running for elected office, much less occupying seats in our House of Representatives!

EXPEL THEM NOW!!!!

But expulsions should have been done long ago. Unfortunately, that takes spine and McCarthy had none.

Too bad the outgoing speaker doesn't retain the Speakership up until it is handed over to a new Speaker. Maybe we need a new law allowing this? It doesn't fix the current problem, but geez, this is just ridiculous. On every level!
