    • Abstract:
      JANUARY 13, 2021 "No one other than President Donald Trump himself is more responsible for Wednesday's [January 6th] coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol than one Joshua David Hawley, the 41-year-old junior senator from Missouri, who put out a fundraising appeal while the siege was underway." Unfortunately, one can anticipate Republicans, especially hardcore reactionaries like Hawley, attempting to subvert Biden's effort and fostering growing resentment among disaffected Trump supports and others. After the Trump supporters were driven from the Capitol and order reestablished, the Senate certified Biden's victory. On his website, Hawley proclaims his ideological strengths: Senator Hawley is recognized as one of the nation's leading constitutional lawyers. [Extracted from the article]
