              I was thinking about that today… we’ve reached a point in the US where “fear is speech,” but then I recognized I’m white, so it’s only new to me.

              republican states said they will declare Biden committed insurrection

              Great! All they have to do is point to the live coverage of Biden calling for his supporters to gather in Washington (“It’s going to be wild!”), telling them to “Fight like hell”, and directing them to march on the Capitol.

              Hey Court, don’t ya think pretty much anyone doing that stuff SHOULD be banned from holding office?

              If you are arguing that Republicans would claim lesser, stupid crap (“he vetoed a bill”, “he stood with union members”, “he asked for a recount”) is the same as insurrection, we want the lower courts to test such claims and make that a hard row to mow.

          It ended basically as soon as they had a conservative majority locked in. Now he doesn’t need to nap anymore.
