In the spirit of AG Barr let me rephrase his words: The law, I say, “is being used as a battering ram to break down traditional democratic values” through judicial interpretation. I (we) call for saving that extraordinarily unique American experiment of the right of the people to govern themselves by recentering and reinvigorating that essential American democratic ideal.

That’s why we have to organize, register voters, organize, canvass, organize, phone bank, never rest for the midterms. Mitch can NOT get the reins back or he’ll Garland the rest of SC.
Laura, when Biden took office, his party (Democrats) assumed the Office (Majority Leader)that technically McConnell held and he dropped under Chuck Schumer. Changing of the guards, if you will. However, Schumer has been minimized since day one and McConnell still controls the Republicans. If you recall, McConnell said he would make Bidens job as hard as possible. He has. We used to think, whomever holds the House, holds the cards. That has proved to not be true. Even when Trump should have been Impeached, the Republicans refused to let that happen. The Republicans are controlling this Country whether we want to admit it or not.
If we had only done those things even a decade ago, but it's late in the game now. The Supreme Court has cut any federal backup for voting rights right out from under us as, state by state, they are manipulated and destroyed. I've lost track of the number of states passing these laws that will make it very hard to vote or to tally votes with any integrity.
Dean, I think you will see the GOP start over riding votes during the midterms in the 19 States they have effectively voter suppressed. They have made it clear they are out for blood and will stop at nothing to get it.
The Federalist Society has been around in one form or another for a long time. They are the folks who had a list of young, alt-right, judges--many with no experience at all--waiting for Mr. Trump's election. They gave the list to McConnell who used it to bargain with the new president for a few items he wanted. The list was long enough to fill the empty federal benches coast to coast. Young, untried, grateful, many not too bright, appointed for life. And if you want a skin-crawling experience (I lasted not quite ten minutes) go to YouTube and watch Mike Pence's speech. That man has been handled, polished, and rehearsed. I had one moment during my ten when I thought I was watching a clip from The Manchurian candidate.
Mr. Pence is bankrolled by the remaining Koch brother who has renounced Trump but not his policies.
Pence has always presented as Robo-Politician. The most authentic I’ve seen him in public was helping right tombstones pushed over in a Jewish Cemetery (for longer than photo op).
My Millennial Son said it’s hard to watch “the crumbling of a great empire” and wondered how his Truman baby mother could stand it. Great men have risen to save the nation at “crumbling” moments before. Fingers crossed…

The SC is on their side, MITCH RULED IT SO

Laura, Mitch never turned over the reins to Schumer.
I’d appreciate some schooling on this please? Sure I’m not the only one?

p.s. I hope you were talking to me. 😊

The Evilness of that strategy will be snuffed out by the zillions of law suites that will be filed on Tuesday November 8, 2022.
The current score is:
The Bad Guys: 21 states
THE GOOD GUYS: 29 STATES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
❤💛💙
INDEED!
VOTE INTELLIGENTLY!
DO IT!
PLEASE.
And the Federalist Society.
Federalist Society awash in dark money. Must pass something to at least diminish that ability

We walk in an alien landscape.

Yes. Fingers crossed. And any charms, chants, magic potions available. I think it will require all that and more.
And those folks, for a very very long time, have been in charge of casting, stage sets, costumes, the whole show.
