I hate, hate to ask this, but would this have made January 6th "valid"?

[โ€“] littlebluespark 3 points 11 months ago

No. "Valid" is not the word.

"Legal" to a point, and then abruptly lethal to those who escalated it to violence and crimes against the nation. (Yes, that means that, by the book, Trump should already have swung for this alone.)
