Wren M. Williams, who sounds like he might be a bird but shouldn’t try to match wits with one, proposed a bill in Virginia to require teaching that Abraham Lincoln debated Frederick Douglass. This is inaccurate, as well as stupid. David Waldman believes that Wren might be thinking of the Douglas who debated Lennon, Wilson, Carter, Taylor, Hamilton, and Charo, but that could be giving Williams a bit more credit than he deserves. Nevertheless, in that spirit of generosity, David reads through the bill today. More stupid and reactionary laws have been known to pass, and this is supposedly the trouble Virginia was asking for.

Looks as if there was quite a lot of sedition around the insurrection a year ago. The forging of Electoral College certificates offers fresh insights about the plot to overthrow the US. (Insights sighted and cited by David a month before the insurrection.) Finally, tough questions are being asked, and investigations might begin. Guilty are guilty, even when they’re co-workers. Mo Brooks is the gift that keeps hitting the fan.

Having no moral center to weigh them down, Mitch McConnell, Kyrsten Sinema, and the Trump Supreme Court are able to turn on a dime.
