“The Republican Party has become a collection of arsonists targeting every part of civil society, liberalism and democracy. One faction aims at crushing the rights of individual citizens — shooting them in the streets of Minneapolis. Another works to co-opt large institutions — corporations, law firms and legacy media.
Lawyers and commentators need to recognize that in Court opinions, the dog whistle is too often louder than the fine print. The culture moves before the next set of lawsuits can even be filed.
We are in that critical window right now. Republican legislators are already redrawing maps. In some cases, they’re redrawing maps mid-election. The DOJ has already signaled it will help them. And, most importantly, the media is already starting to use the GOP’s framing.”

Republicans are advancing the same lie used by the Court to deny black Americans representation in Congress: the lie that the bad old days are over; that black voters are no longer required to guess the number of jellybeans in a jar as a condition to vote.
The bad old days are not over – Republicans continue to work to disenfranchise voters of color pursuant to establishing the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

The GOP lit the match. The Supreme Court banned the fire department
The foundation of our democracy is burning to the ground. It did not begin with Donald Trump, but he stoked the flames. The conservative Roberts Court did not light the match, but it has repeatedly declared fire hydrants, sprinklers and smoke detectors illegal.
