    The “independent legislature” case SCOTUS is hearing could end democracy. “They are asking the court to do something quite radical, which is to change the way elections have been run in this country for over two centuries. The consequences would be massive and intolerable.”

    FROM CNN:

    The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol has decided to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, the panel’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, told reporters Tuesday.

    Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said the committee has not narrowed down the universe of individuals who may be referred.
    Asked whether Thompson believed any witnesses perjured themselves, he said, “that’s part of the discussion.”
    The committee is expected to meet later Tuesday.
