        At some point they were in authority and could have made a difference…. But they decided to watch what would happen if they did nothing.

          Dems haven’t had 60 seats in the senate since 1979. In 12 of the 16 most recent congresses they had less than 50.

            I was specifically talking about Garland who didn’t investigate Trump, until it was too late.

              Ah yeah, that’s fair. The SCOTUS also gave Trump immunity and took away state’s power to remove him from ballots despite it being law that he could not run for office after starting an insurrection, though. Much more impactful imo, considering there are no laws keeping a convicted felon from serving as POTUS he could still have been elected even from prison.
