Something is stopping them. The retiring congressman to put in the fix by making it practically impossible for anyone but the aide. I think you know that, and you're just making taking a knee-jerk partisan position.

It's wrong. Why should we sugarcoat that?

I oppose censorship, whether from the right or the left, even of views I find repugnant. In his dissent in US vs. Shwimmer, Oliver Wendell Holmes called this, "the principle of free thought—not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate."

Yes, in the face of the worst authoritarian administration in the last 150 years, it's best to focus your attacks on your own side's imperfections rather than on the party that is actually trying to dismantle American democracy.
