The fact that Justice Gorsuch had to basically write a legal version of School House Rockβs Iβm just a bill to remind Congress, the President and everyone else of their responsibilities to constitution and how bill becomes a law is pretty sad.

I would also note that gerrymandering goes back to 1812. Since the main objective of parties is to win so as to carry out their agenda, itβs always attractive to pressure the refs and rules to your side.

Point taken. I would also add that modern gerrymandering accelerated with the rise of computer power which has made data processing and analysis faster, cheaper, and more accurate making gerrymandering easier to execute Give it to the Republican Party, they adopted early.

Perhaps because gerrymandering has been a longer term project on the right. A couple of election cycles forcing out βRINOsβ who were really moderates we wind up where we are. Give it time and someone will run regulating oat milk on cornflakes.

If by respect you actually mean fear you have point. I think a lot of them both in government and their supporters thought their actions would force us all to cower in fear. Instead most people have reacted with anger and contempt.

Why is this argument still going on? There is no excuse for trying to stop a speaker just because you donβt like them or their message, no matter how abhorrent you find them or what they say. Find a better message. Itβs called politics.

Between the public resignations and probably more that we donβt hear about, itβs hard to be an authoritarian if there is no one to carry out your orders or in this case prosecutions.

Good article. My only critique is that from my own informal experience with MAGA types is that they most likely would go along with it. As one said to me, βWhy should Denmark have it?β Like DJT, they donβt have a concept of strategic thinking.
