But I Was Assured He Was Going To Use China To Suppress The Vote

I guess there is no reason to vote for a supplemental military appropriation for Trump’s War or anything else since he isn’t signing anything right now. pic.twitter.com/BPaNKAwV4p

Of course the SAVE ACT would be struck down before the ink had dried on his signature. Has nobody in the White House read Shelby County v Holder? Roberts pretty much gutted the authority of the Feds over elections in his reasoning gutting Section 2 of the VRA. SAVE is just VRA for white people, with the same level of interference in state affairs Roberts rejected before. And with even less due process. States could challenge determinations made under Section 2. What do states who use mail in ballots beyond the proposed limits of SAVE do? Bend the knee?

Didn’t Alito just turn abortion law back to the states in a strongly anti-federalist decision? Seems to me that covers “mutilization” of children (which is only happening in Iran, at the receiving end of U.S. bombs), something no one is doing now for transgender surgery, since it’s unethical. A concept inconceivable to Trump. 

And “men in women’s sports” is as much a state issue as men in women’s bathrooms (where did that one go, by the way?).

I’m gonna go back to worrying about China in the conservatory with the candlestick. That’s a much more realistic concern than Trump blackmailing the Senate into revoking the filibuster.
