Republicans have been working on a 30+ year project. 60+ years project.
So what?
The people been working on a 248+ years project. In two years it will be 250. The world's been working on its own projects too. I like smart bets. I'm not betting on the NAZIs.
The supreme court stacked with Trump and Bush appointees, the ones who were installed there explicitly so they would abdicate their responsibilities and dissolve the separation of powers.
When people say they want Democrats to fight harder, what they're asking for is for someone to use the same dirty tricks as Republicans to defend their democratic institutions as opposed to tearing them down. To that end, we ought to wipe our ass with SCOTUS's ruling on presidential immunity. Merchan should have sentenced Trump anyway. Let the Republicans appeal back to SCOTUS, and then wipe our ass with their decision a second time.
It's distasteful to stoop to their level of dirty tricks and stall tactics, but playing by the rules is what fascists always count on to seize power. Even if we have to break our own rules, we should fight them with everything in the proverbial arsenal. The country and its people will not survive if they have their hands tied behind their backs by the paradox of tolerance.
I mean, I agree with all of that... I'm not saying we respect the courts crazy interpretation - but we do have to see the playing board clearly
I know, I didn't mean to sounds argumentative with you. You presented the facts clearly for the OP who asked their question. :)
