"All the fulminations about how Biden should now do this and that illegal act miss the point that fascists have a structural advantage over liberal democrats, which is that having no respect for the law while your opponent does is like playing politics and life on the easy setting, sort of like being a white man in America."

@DemocracyMattersALot With SCOTUS compromised there is literally no legal remedy possible. They will overturn and reinterpret as they see fit. They've decided that it's up to them to decide what's official and what's not.

Nothing Biden does will benefit from their protection.
Everything Trump does will benefit from their protection.

There is nothing left to lose by trying everything.

"(4) There’s a way to solve the conundrum raised by (3), but I don’t think our side has the stomach for it, at least not yet"

Let us hope our side finds its stomach real soon, coz the clock is ticking...

I say, Test the system. If it stands up to scrutiny, then it's working. Otherwise, it needs serious tweaking.
