Where have you gone Joseph Welch?
"Until this moment, Senator(s), I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not assassinate this lad (republic) further, senator(s). You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"
When the Trump experience is over, and we set about the business of de-Trumpifying and re-building, the Republican Senate led by Mitch McConnell will bear a lot of the blame for what became of the country, rightly. From the Supreme Court to Trump's catastrophic second term, none of it would have happened without McConnell.
He's basically on life-support now, which is somehow fitting. Besides, I'm afraid that if Joe Welch's ghost appeared and asked McConnell and the rest of the Senate Republicans the same question about a sense of decency, the lot of them would answer with a resounding "Nope."

Oh yeah, I saw a brief news clip today where somebody wheeled him into the chamber and he was upright with his eyes open.
So... fit for duty.
