When the Federal government cannot find its way to promptly *investigate* murder, then the States have to step up - doesn't matter if there are longstanding norms to step on/over to do it. Has to be done, insurrection act bluster notwithstanding.

Under some weird interpretation of the 10th amendment, the state of Minnesota cannot get wholesale injunctive relief against this clown-show-down.
I have to go look at that opinion again, because continuing this is unreal in the manner of a making purse out of a sow's ear at law.

It's their election strategy.
It's been pretty clear for a long while now. (Their BigData Analytica models seem to be flashing green on it...)
It's a lot more than just mainstreaming the alt-right with "88 generals are endorsing me" (2016 campaign).

It's amazing that something like the CBC has been caught flat-footed, when they could increase their footprint in the U.S. market (in their national interest) and so on at bargain basement prices. Investment probably only needed until 2028.

Thank god someone is finally saying it aloud.
All these pro-forma opinions, like the lack of injunctive relief over the Minnesota deployment, read like not being able to reach the merits. But the 'thing in itself' might not be that thing if it is so stretched an mutilated by Florida Woman, et. al.
