even for the inauguration. The same for Pelosi. I don't know if our Pro Temp will be seated by that time, but the same for Leahy.
I guess you could argue that it is giving in to the terrorists, but you also have a Covid reason for a more scaled down/even virtual inauguration.
The security for this event is still being provided by Trump's administration, and no one can be trusted in it.

Just in case.

I would prefer to see a virtual event from a secure location. No crowds.
Once the current administration is far behind us in the rear view mirror and Covid19 is under control we can have tons of balls and parties. We can chalk it up to austerity measures and party next year.
I don't want to risk the safety of our new administration or our National Security.

(23,295 posts)These crazy cultists would have no problem dying while taking out our President and Vice President. I think the same might be true for new GA Senators. We cant trust the capital police and its been said that even the secret service has been infiltrated. We did it start this war. For the sake of the future of our republic, all precautions must be taken.

Im quite certain that the Secret Service has considered it, but if not I hope when they do their daily scan of DU it gets picked up and implemented.
