alt Hacker NewsYes, but it's also Trump and the GOP self-immolating. November is going to be a historic electoral wipeout.
I expect the next administration will push through some laws limiting this sort of idiocy.

I hope you're right, but forgive me if I don't party yet. I thought the same thing two years ago.

"In a 5-4 decision..."
Such laws would be useful everywhere. First rule: whatever you decide, it's effective after 6 months. Second rule: you can't change first or second rule.

The problem is that the bar is now so low that basically anybody will win, by design.
They'll pass some surface level bullshit to treat symptoms, like how lakes can or cannot be renamed. But they'll fail to address any root, systemic issues that allowed this BS to unfold in the first place, paving the way for the other half of the Uniparty to resume power 4-8 years later.
Democracy is illusory.

So you have faith in the average American voter? (Or at least a plurality of them?)
