This means the only play Democrats have left is convict Trump (before inauguration day) and end Democracy by refusing to allow him to take the sacred oath. Or even more hard-core, no conviction but still go the civil war route by prosecuting him after the election and refusing to allow him to take the sacred oath.
That's it. Anybody who says otherwise is lying. To still prosecute him in 2024 means running right up to Novemeber or past. No chance before September.
