Republicans don't deserve to be "met in the middle."

They will deserve forgiveness when they apologize, if they demonstrate that is sincere.

The Green Valley-Sahuarita Samaritans report that the US deportation thugs had a warrant to raid their aid supplies on Christmas Eve.

To carry out an autogolpe, officials would have to take steps which, legally, they don't have grounds to do. That won't necessarily stop them.

In November we saw Republican state officials almost unanimously refuses to throw the election. They willingly make elections unfair, but drew the line at disregarding the actual votes.

In January the matter will depend on Republican federal officials, many of them chosen specifically by the wrecker himself. Have they got enough loyalty to constitutional government to disobey him?

One of them will be the new acting attorney general.

With only 25 days to go, he may be able to avoid helping by stalling.

Andre Hill's killer has been fired by the chief of the thug department, who excoriated him.

The question is, will he be prosecuted for his hasty shooting?

But another idea occurs to me: teaching a lesson to the rest of the thugs in that department. The idea is that it could be useful to ask them to meet with Hill's relatives, to listen to them and feel their pain, and show they are sorry for the way the killed acted. It might have an effect on how they behave in the future.

Does anyone know whether this approach is useful?
