I’d personally prefer carpet bombing to a warning shot, but at least we finally have a DOJ that seems to be moving in the right direction.

Um, really?!?

Look what’s already happened in Georgia and Texas. Did I miss any others?

The whole “Constitutional Sheriff” thing is really dumb, and pushed by people who don’t understand the law or the Constitution (which is highly ironic since they are law officers). The jurisdiction of the DoJ is everywhere in the nation, that’s long settled, but it looks like some dumb asses are going to have to learn it all over again.

or, we.could elect Republicans and just be done with democracy.

We are at least two votes short in the Senate. Sinems is apt to be primaried and lose since.Arizona has shown it can elect better candidates. West.Virginia is not so clear.

what we really need to do is run the table in the 2022 Senatorial contests.
