Republican support of the filibuster is weakening. Shouldn't waste this opportunity to weaken or abolish it.

I don't think sMTG will run as a Democrat, but I think in 2028 we may see the latent Ron Paul libertarian and Massie/Rand//Tucker wing of the GOP coalesce around a candidate to challenge Vance and the authoritarian right.

the military leadership has been at least partially purged. And this SCOTUS already gave Trump legal immunity & the Insurrection Act goes along nicely with their Unitary Executive theory.

doesn't apply to it once it's invoked. Trump wanted to use it last time on the George Floyd protestors but was talked out of it by the more sane people around him & he wanted to use it again in 2021 to stop Congress from certifying the election of Biden. But now the opposition from within is gone &

workers/labor movement. Only a few times was it used for good against the KKK & against white supremacists (Ole Miss/Little Rock/Selma). There's no Judicial or Congressional review on it. No time limit or geographic restriction. Congress can't override w/o veto proof majority. Posse Comitatus Act

deploy not just the militias but the standing army. The SCOTUS gave their blessing on it 20yrs later. Jefferson used it on Americans defying his embargo a yr later in 1808. The local militias refused to obey so he used Federal troops. Has been used dozens of times since then on, often on striking

Insurrection Act was passed a Federal judge had to certify that normal law enforcement couldn't hand the situation. Like in the case of the Militia Acts/Calling Forth Act & the Whiskey Rebellion in Western PA. After the Insurrection Act was passed it can be done w/o a judge. And with it they can

It is like a cheat code for a wannabe tyrant. It's really a monarch type power. Really bad law that should never have been passed & should have been undone. Was passed to suppress a supposed insurrection by Aaron Burr carving out his own nation which he was later acquitted of. Before the 1807

Republic Rome. It's already broken our politics for years now. That's why I think Dems should prioritize it over anything else. It's already a catastrophic, possibly fatal problem that we simply cannot pass amendments anymore. The Constitution as written isn't working in the modern world and we

like Cato was. Filibuster was basically an invention of his. There's a myth/cult around Cato but he was an oligarchic villain imo. We lost the "Anticato" to history which was written by Caesar. The Senate has become extremely ineffective & the place where legislation goes to die like in Late
