First, it’s not just the 14th Amendment, it’s also the “faithful execution” clause; when laws are in conflict, it’s a political question up to POTUS which to faithfully execute.

A higher threshold for Ohio citizen-led ballot measures is:
❌ Undemocratic
❌ Unfair
❌ Unpopular
❌ Unnecessary

Time to end the blue slip requirement. Period.

"Durbin...estimated that fewer than 20 of Biden’s nominees have received green lights from the GOP, while Democrats provided more than 110 for Trump’s judicial picks during his time in office." Yet Durbin, like other Senate Ds, is reluctant to change the practice. twitter.com/RonBrownstein/…

Republicans use their MINORITY power to undermine democracy because too many of them fear that they can’t win in a fair electoral system. They’re afraid of the voters.
We will not abandon North Carolina. We will continue to stay engaged - EVERYWHERE - to protect our democracy.

BREAKING: The conservative majority of the North Carolina Supreme Court has overturned their previous decision in Harper v. Hall — ruling that partisan gerrymandering does not violate the state constitution.
This is an unprecedented decision — and an affront to NC voters.93

This shameful, delegitimizing decision to allow the unjust, blatant manipulation of North Carolina’s voting districts was not a function of legal principle, it was a function of political personnel and partisan opportunism. The fight for fairness goes on.

Be on notice students and young people: the Republicans fear your voice and want to take away your vote. They crave power and are intent on following the dictates of the special interests on gun safety, abortion and other critical issues. Get involved!

A friend texted me today-So I guess lower Manhattan can handle a trial where there is a significant terrorism threat.
Exactly what I said a decade ago: but the political hacks said no: and so 9/11 NYC conspirators still untried.

The murder of the little angels and their protectors in Nashville-and so many other places-by people with assault weapons (or any other firearm) is a “national sin”. This is not a mere political issue. It is a defining moral one.
