This claim is unfounded and undermines the independence of the judiciary, assuming a Trump Justice Department would prioritize partisan interests over constitutional validity.

neverquitdreaming.bsky.social•38 days ago

Past behavior predicts future behavior and it’s always been partisan with them🙄We already saw him do it! Remember Bill Barr🤷🏾‍♀️

that was a bot

starfoxangel.bsky.social•38 days ago

How about looking into the election interference perpetrated by Trump et al in Nov? He admitted as much just this Sunday.

digginsdweller.bsky.social•38 days ago

there's pretty much a guarantee that it won't

blackhorse.bsky.social•38 days ago

I'd take bets they'll cave to rump.

princefan-1.bsky.social•38 days ago

I don’t think it’s going to happen but I hope so

princefan-1.bsky.social•38 days ago

They are changing zoning bc of the election?

rewdawakening.bsky.social•38 days ago

They will not. They know this.

ashthayer.bsky.social•38 days ago

You know what would solve the problem. Everyone’s vote just counts. No need for either side to call the other a cheater for redistricting if everyone’s vote just counts.

mjm314.bsky.social•38 days ago

You mean like every other country?

ashthayer.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yes exactly! 😂😂

scratchdaddo.bsky.social•38 days ago

Bonhoeffer also thought the law was on his side

Does any of it matter there won't be another election.

coloradocitizen.bsky.social•37 days ago

Great attitude. Guess we all just let it happen with no pushback, eh?

suee33.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thank you Marc for ALL you do for the USA!!!

aplatl.bsky.social•38 days ago

From a Blue Georgian. Expect it to be scuttled. Things are worse than they appear to those outside the state.

bevymart.bsky.social•38 days ago

There is practically a guarantee that #trump #doj will drop the case entirely

hekintx.bsky.social•38 days ago

They are going to drop anything that doesn't help them. They will no longer defend this. Or any other.

coloradocitizen.bsky.social•37 days ago

Marc is there any way to resurrect the case or bring a new one when 47's DOJ drops this?

kokomojoe.bsky.social•38 days ago

I can guess how the rotted out court system is going to decide.

ridennerdie.bsky.social•38 days ago

Trump stacked it so no one will oppose him when he decides to attempt to change the constitution.

How long is it going to take before you learn how to deal with Republicans.
They will take any advantage of any situation until it used against them successfully.
When blue states gerrymander every Republican out of office they will agree that something needs to be done.
Until then - forget it.

I thought the inconsistency of the courts rulings would have been the thing to attack since 2022. If we ever needed a national state of emergency, that was it imo.

amc802.bsky.social•38 days ago

Oh no!!!!!

mcsweeney.bsky.social•38 days ago

Guaranteed they won't.

comen-tator.bsky.social•37 days ago

Once trump gets his stooges all situated in the key positions, I doubt that the DOJ will do anything for the people of the USA, because the stooges are there to make sure that the DOJ only works for trump and his cronies!
