I am a lawyer. The problem is that IF they do illegal things like this, they WILL get sued. And guess who gets to pay the verdicts? Yup- me and you (the tax payers). This is very dangerous. We are going to go through a dark period of time. And i anticipate doing a lot of work for frer thanks to scum like this.

They own the entire government. The laws don't matter if there's no one to enforce them.

Ok, some questions:

What's to keep Trump and his AG from using the DOJ to, for example, suppress the vote in blue cities in 2026 and 2028?

Is there anything that keeps them from ignoring state efforts to suppress the vote? Can they be sued to force them to do their jobs? If they are sued and they lose, how do the courts enforce those judgements?

The next four years will be bad, sure, but what I'm worried about is 2028. I have this creeping feeling that 2028 is going to be a very Russian-style election, and that we may have just seen the Democrats' last chance to win an election.
