Dear Henry Olsen, Voters didn't elect George Santos to Congress, they elected a figment of his imagination, a totally manufactured political creature. Best, Retiring Guy

 

Headline:  Washington Post, 12/22/2022

Democracy means nothing if the people themselves do not rule. That means submitting to their decision even if we are convinced they have decided badly. No one doubts that Santos was legitimately elected in November, and the Supreme Court ruled in Powell v. McCormack that the House can vote to expel members only once they have taken their seats. Expelling Santos on the basis of media reports would amount to the House substituting its own judgment for the people’s. That’s the antithesis of what this country is about.

So, in other words, Henry, what this country is about is allowing a scheming novice, an outright incompetent, a serial liar to take office for two years without so much as a slap on the wrist.
