  • We don’t care so much about any “legislative agenda” Trump may have. We care about reining in the corruption, the abuses of authority, illegal executive orders. Will we get a Congress that actually does stuff, will it protect its own constitutional authority, and will it do something about those enriching themselves on their government authority. And that’s before even will government do things for its constituents rather than just its corporate donors.

    Winning majorities is only the start




  • That’s a good start, but this is a multifaceted threat to democracy. I don’t see how they could expect disenfranchising 20,000 people would affect California elections, BUT

    • are they targetting swing districts, specific congresspeople?
    • terrorizing/suppressing many more voters?
    • terrorizing official trying to run legitimate elections?
    • distractions, always distractions. Are we missing more serious threats to elections in swing states?
    • most importantly creating excuses they will use to try to invalidate californias elections?

  • Both of the injunction cases have some legal problems. They purport to restrict the feds from doing certain subpoenas or certain indictments before they actually do them

    In normal times, it’s a good idea for someone to be harmed before you try to redress that harm. But this is one of the things that must change in today’s dysfunctional government, where people don’t hesitate to illegally demolish things first in order to say “now you have to let me build a gold plated ballroom for my 900 closest friends”. What good is a justice system that can’t stop injustice?
