re: #228 Dopamine Fish

The timing just doesn’t work, though. The case was filed in plenty of time for Justice Alito to be able to take action prior to the riot. I think they’re trying to make up a plausible post facto excuse for an event which was clearly planned with the intent of stopping the electoral vote count entirely. To the extent that this excuse was already present in the real-time chatter, I feel it may have been a smoke screen to justify violent action to people who might not have wanted to engage in violence.

I think they were hoping that the riot would raise questions. It might have also been that they were hoping a few beat up or dead Democrats would raise questions.
