Nope. I saw the statement they released, so I'll give them that, but I'm still looking at Lincoln Project and RVAT with a critical eye, even moreso now. :wtb:
Shouldn't have embraced them in the first place. They were always an 'Enemy of my enemy' alliance.

So this is how the Roosevelt political cycle end in 2020. :wow: America typically goes through 80 year political cycles. The Roosevelt cycle started in 1940 and ends this year. A very consequential election year. We are entering a period of even more division and partisanship. From what I am hearing from alot off Dems if bytch McConell goes along with this Democrats are gonna go nuclear if they win the Senate. We need all types of reforms. Make DC and PR as states. Expand the House of Representatives. Pack the courts and the lower courts. Abolish the filibuster. We need radical ideas at this point to push back against the right wing.

I see this as the inverse of the 1980 election. Aka the end of the manufacturing economy and the beginning of the piss poor service economy. 2020 looks like the end of the Ronald Reagan style politics and misinformation and campaign bigotry and fears.

Roe v Wade
Civil Rights Act
Voting Rights Act
Brown Vs Board of Education
Social Security Act
Expand Citizens United.
Erode workers rights.
Basically this had been the strategy of Republicans since the Roosevelt administration to make the supreme court have a conservative majority to to overturn many of the reforms of the mid 20th century. And they will not stop there.

They may even abolish the 13th Amendment :mjpls:

I wouldnt put it past Trump, for saying that out loud.

Not to get too caught up in this sidebar but to think tlp doesn't see the same shortfalls and dangers we're discussing in Trump selecting another justice is pretty misguided

they're also not just going after Trump but his enablers in the senate and have been since the beginning

nice to see someone from the other side have a little integrity and put country over party


I don't know what their endgame is as far as their party goes but getting rid of Trump and his enablers in the senate is laudable.

There is actually a Supreme Court case about the ACA in November after the election. Democrats HAVE TO HAMMER that through people's heads.

i dont think the supreme court can straight up abolish an amendment. they are a part of the constitution so they cant argue they are unconstitutional by definition

what they CAN do is issue bullshyt rulings that completely undercut and defang the amendments. this is what they did with the 14th amendment in cases like plessy v ferguson
