So much content here in a succinct format, thank you.

Kari Lake is someone we need to pay attention to, ever since she issued that not so veiled threat to liberals if Trump is convicted from her and her NRA card carrying fans I’ve found her particularly creepy.

“The issue is Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society and a couple of generations of leading lawyers on the right exerting enormous influence over the composition of the judiciary. You don’t fix that or reform the judiciary with nickel-and-dime financial disclosure rules alone.”

You are such a discerning analyst; thanks for helping us get out of the weeds!

Great one today David. L. Leo's not the only harbinger of the rot. Look at the Heritage Foundation and the

spread of their many tentacles.

Republicans would not hesitate to do anything they want to and would never claim they have "minimal" power if they held the presidency and the senate. Power is not constrained by laws or documents or judges. Its only constraint is will. It's so aggravating hearing Democrats pile up excuses as to why they can't act. Just act and let the chips fall where they may fer chrissakes...
