Wow it took them this long to notice everything they are doing could be used against them and this is why tampering with rules to cater to partisanships are usually avoided because at best it’s only just setting a strategy for opposition?

This is the thing: anyone can be a complete asshole. It’s everyone’s choice not to be one. These idiots thought they are cracking code. To the rest of us they are just regressing and leaving the playbook on instructions on how they got away with it and how the system will be changed.

It’s like they don’t even know the litigation tracker is public either.

Has to be the stupidest group of thieves ever to have lived.

I mean, if we look at how the opposition Democrats have played thus far, that is barely a gamble.

They are a minority so not sure what you’re expecting to have happen there.

I don't know, they could at least obstruct as much as the Republicans did for them whenever the Democrats were in power and had a chance to pass actual progressive legislation, but chickened out and said they needed to compromise the shit out of it to make a bipartisan effort, since the Republican minority was blocking anything and everything they tried to do.

Then you should follow a little more closely on what the dems are doing in the kilmar case. And it’s not even just the dems. It’s everyone vs maga.

They are making it more inconvenient and way more court time and congress time for every single one of the maga members to have deported without due process than it would have been just to let kilmar have due process.

It’s becoming a bit of a masterpiece. It’s like the oj simpson trial only at congressional and judicial level.
