And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

"The announcement also quotes KNOWiNK's owner, former St. Louis elections director Scott Leiendecker, as vowing to provide “election technology that prioritizes paper-based transparency,” one of the longtime demands of election conspiracy theorists."

"The newly formed company, Liberty Vote, also vowed to follow the executive order Trump signed last spring seeking sweeping changes to election policies that multiple judges have put on hold for violating the Constitution."

I didn't call today, so I can't speak to that. I didn't mean to imply I had. He's been dismissive of all previous of my phone calls, though, and IF I receive a response, the letters begin with "As you know..." followed by some condescending lie about what's happening.

Banks isn't listening to the Dems who call in to counter that. His staff aren't all that helpful either.

The president does not have this power. He’s acting unconstitutionally to commit crimes against humanity— murder on the high seas.

Lest it be forgotten, the president may be immune re: official acts (assuming these are), but subordinates committing extrajudicial executions are not so entitled.

“.. it appears to justify an open-ended war against a secret list of groups, giving the president power to designate drug traffickers as enemy combatants and have them summarily killed without legal review.”
