The first year of new Dem legislative agenda had better be about fixing ALL the holes and triple all of the failed safeguards with BIG criminal statutes.

Yes & I think many constitutional rights like presidential pardons should have legislation requiring a formal process the president must follow, exclude self pardon nonsense & most important make it illegal to receive any monetary transaction directly or indirectly in connection with a pardon.
Shoulda coulda done all those safeguards while President Biden was in office. He knew how to get the bipartisan votes we needed from the few but enough Republicans.
IDK, does that even work with someone like Trump who doesn't believe in following laws, or court rulings or even norms? We're fighting an out of control monster, not a human.
Until humans acknowledge this behaviour is well in the realm of human behaviour & put checks in the system to discourage it, it will happen
ppl loyal to trump are, simply, like-minded
Anyone can do anything until there is a dispute; the law is the default; law reflects the values of a country...
Oh you mean all the shit Biden should have done but didn’t because he thought building bridges and opening semiconductor factories would win him a second term?

Over at SubStack, #DavidRovics wrote about it two weeks ago. His piece is called "The Letter that Liz Cheney Didn't Write."
I don't know how to link to it but THAT essay is worth reading.
