They're like thieves probing a fence for weak spots to get in.
It's like they want us to keep running around like lab rats on crack.
I mean they did it in the worst possible way but that just makes me believe the conclusion is inescapable
Upon TRO: "ok that didn't work right away, so, we take it back. (But we reserve the right to try again.)"
To Court: "dismiss please, moot now, we took it back."
Basically the platonic ideal of "voluntary cessation" that won't work.
That's why we'll need to eventually prosecute enablers along with self-proclaimed fascists.
No, they’re fucking morons. Strategize against that
That's why standing up, saying no, and speaking out are so important. It emboldens others, and even the cowards would rather huddle behind us if they think there's any hope left.
If you believed that why the hell did you putzes run him
They're hitting everywhere at once, but don't have the resources or the ingenuity to sustain most of these fights, and in reality there's a lot more of us than them.
Being scary and threatening is kinda what lawyers do. Especially litigators.
And sometimes threats are merely threats.
