I hear you and understand the precedent. But I don't think it applies here. Yes, our institutions are weakened--but they still stand. This would never be passed into law as an amendment. Thus, they'd need a supreme court willing to engage in such an egregious miscarriage of justice that most would consider it to be treason.

While I find the Robert's court troubling, I don't think they're capable of such a thing.

Let's hope I'm right.

Absolutely. People talk about another civil war. If you start hear ing about spontaneous violence in the streets, that's when you need to worry. I think if this actually passed, we'd start hearing about stuff like that.

Realistically, Republicans know this has no chance of passing. Frankly, I think this is just mean-spirited trolling--which is a good indicator of the state of our politics. We want to see the other side suffer.

Tremendous respect for this lady. Speaking truth to power--particularly those with authoritarian aims--is vital to the future of our democracy.

This is the result of ever-expanding executive power.
