We couldn't have a functioning government if members of Congress weren't protected.
from unarmed protestors?
Which was the point of the January 6 riot: To overwhelm their protection and stop the joint session of Congress that was charged with counting electoral votes in order to finalize the 2020 election results.
so cavanaugh protests and subsequent protests outside the home of justices should have their own committee investigating that insurrection. Or are you suggesting we pick and choose based on political affiliation?
I guess when put that way I can totally understand why you believe members of Congress shouldn't be protected.
again protected from unarmed protestors? really?

i dont understand your point. protests at DC are routinely organized . there's one every week of the year
When was the last time you saw conservatives in the thousands rioting at the Capitol? Like I said, never heard about it coming up and I listen to major conservative media. Where do you go to get such information? They didn't all just up and go to Washington on a whim.

You're really gambling with your life if members of Congress are feet away and you're trying to force your way into the Speaker's Lobby wearing a backpack containing unknown contents during a riot inside the Capitol.

Your argument doesn't really hold up when Capitol Police started letting in hundreds of protesters. The electoral count went on. No guns drawn by protesters. Just a lot of characterizing Trump supporters as insurrectionists for political gain.

The electoral count went on that night because the members of Congress had been protected.

protected from unarmed citizens.

why isnt the jan 6 committee not investigating the failure to have adequate security for what was known to be an incoming large crowd protesting a stolen election?

In those numbers? Fighting cops, smashing windows? Just doesn't happen and it shouldn't have happened this time.
you've lost me .

You can't bring yourself around to even acknowledging that any of that even happened on January 6. It was all just a peaceful walk in the Capitol on a nice sunny day for you. Antifa and undercover FBI agents did all the bad stuff. We've been over all of this before too.
