As bad as the insurrection on January 6, 2021 was, what is worse to me is general apathetic reaction to it from more than half the country. Having grown up in the 70s I can’t help but compare these our current times to back then and the reaction to Watergate, when it was clear to me that there was a line by which citizens believed a President cannot cross and that citizens did not think the President is above the law.
Even more important, back then more members of Congress and the Supreme Court had a backbone no matter party affliation. I imagine today’s Supreme Court would have ruled that Nixon did not have to give up the tape as they view the Supreme Executive as not accountable to any branch of government.
