The White House is gambling that the public wants President Biden focused on the future rather than looking back at the events that led to his predecessor s second impeachment trial.
But that strategy could be costing the administration two opportunities. The first, to stand with those traumatized by the Jan. 6 sacking of the United States Capitol. And the second?

Texas attorney Paul Davis, who was fired earlier this month after posting several Instagram videos of himself on the front lines at the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, filed an impressively grandiose lawsuit in federal court on Monday, requesting that Congress disappear entirely and that nearly everyone who holds high office in the United States, along with Mark Zuckerberg, be barred from ever seeking election or voting again. He also asked the court to tell the Justice Department and FBI not to arrest him.
The complaint, filed in the Waco Division of the Western District of Texas by Davis and co-counsel Kellye SoRelle, a failed Republican candidate for state office, claims that every vote cast in the 2020 general election was illegal, and therefore that entire 117th Congress is illegitimate. Consequently, Davis argues, every action this Congress has taken, including impeaching former President Trump and certifying President Joe Biden s victory, is null and void.
