What does this tell those of us who want to live in a just society that’s not a fascist dictatorship? The Repubs are behind us with knives and guns, just waiting for the right moment. They are working so fucking hard to get their new world order into place it’s not even amusing anymore.
The citation of an article in another thread that we’re seeing MAGA wave 2 is a very spot-on assessment. They are never going back to a reasonable situation with cooperation, debate, etc. They are locked in for a different USA. It would be nice if a whole bunch of folks, mainly in media positions that could make a difference, would figure this out at some point.
The difference was, the someone who showed up for 11 hrs of hostile interrogation had nothing to hide. These folks are all sitting on piles and piles of questionable, if not downright illegal, acts, so they are afraid.
Such a filibuster of enforcing a committee subpoena would be unprecedented
Why are Republicans ALWAYS the first side to think of these new ways to slow things down? Where was this sort of thinking during the Amy Corbet whatever Supreme Court hearings? Dems need to up their game.
White House and the democrats should keep pushing, establishing a record of corruption on the Supreme Court. If these “citizens’” dealing with Supreme Court justices was completely above board they would show up without subpoenas to publically exonerate themselves. This will all just accumulate until there is massive public support to expand the Supreme Court
