Our Constitution passed a difficult stress test | TheHill

Our country and our Constitution were subjected to several stress tests on Wednesday. They were ugly and dangerous. But our Constitution, with its system of checks and balances, passed these stress tests: The debate went on in Congress; the resolutions questioning the election failed. Trump tweeted, There will be an orderly transition on January 20. Some of the violent protesters will be prosecuted and convicted. Most importantly, no compromises were made at least not yet with our basic liberties.

So the bad news is that violence occurred on the grounds of our Capitol for several hours. The good and more enduring news is that our constitutional system survived the temporary bad news.
