11. Why should we?
Sun Aug 14, 2022, 06:10 PM

Rep.Cheney has done an exemplary job in the J6 Committee hearings. She is as disgusted with Trump as we Democrats.

However, on nearly every other issue facing our country, Rep. Cheney is in opposition to our positions. She's not really our ally in government.

Except for one thing: She clearly wants to follow the Constitutional Order and the Rule of Law. I respect her for that. But the rest of her perspective is anathema to my point of view.

She's done her job. If she loses her position, I don't care. The J6 Committee has plenty of other members who can fill her spot, (assuming Democrats retain control of the House).
