Important from the Court's three liberal justices:
"The American people have the power to vote for and elect candidates for national office, and that is a great and glorious thing. The men who drafted and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, however, had witnessed an 'insurrection [and] rebellion' to defend slavery. They wanted to ensure that those who had participated in that insurrection, and in possible future insurrections, could not return to prominent roles. Today, the majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President. Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section 3, we protest the majority's effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of that provision. Because we would decide only the issue before us, we concur only in the judgment."

Thomas, Roberts and Kavanaugh are flirting with the idea that states can’t enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in running presidential elections and deciding ballot access. Which I think would mean the only place it could be enforced would be in Congress… next January 6th.
Sadly, 99% of Democrats will just scroll past this urgent request. Will you be the rare exception who rushes a donation to help the DCCC elect a pro-democracy Majority and keep insurrectionists out of the Capitol for good? https://t.co/NRxX62aUSv
This is Marvin Guy. He's been in jail almost 10 years waiting for trial.
He's facing life in prison—for killing someone who was breaking into his house before sunrise. The kicker: That person was a cop conducting a no-knock raid.
His trial ended today. A thread.

Former Speaker McCarthy is playing some mental gymnastics here. Jim Jordan has passed ZERO bills in 16 years. The Former Speaker is saying that because he is the Chair of Judiciary, that every bill passed out of that committee “he passed”… even the ones he voted no on. LOL
Mitt Romney sent this text to Mitch McConnell on Jan. 2, 2021:
"In case you have not heard this, I just got a call from Angus King, who said that he had spoken with a senior official at the Pentagon who reports that they are seeing very disturbing social media traffic regarding the protests planned on the 6th. There are calls to burn down your home, Mitch; to smuggle guns into DC, and to storm the Capitol. I hope that sufficient security plans are in place, but I am concerned that the instigator—the President—is the one who commands the reinforcements the DC and Capitol police might require."
McConnell never responded.

let's take a step back, & remember: just months after ending summer elections, Ohio Republicans backtracked & organized a special election (that took a lot of money to organize) with *nothing* on the ballot other than a referendum asking voters to GIVE UP political power!
