Another thought about the filings from the Georgia defendants.

Some like Eastman and Clark, are true believers. The CA State Bar was sort of aghast that Eastman showed no remorse. Both were glib about the possibility of violence.

Thomas Jefferson, who in my view gets way too much credit, once said: "I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. . . " (see screenshot #2 for the remainder of the quotation.)

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them.

@Teri_Kanefield Did Jefferson say that before or after the French Revolution? The French Revolution had to be pretty sobering.

Update, French Revolution started a couple years later:
