The MAGA litigation explosion: The rule of law isn’t comatose yet (It seems to be catching up to it's biggest scofflaw, and destined to make him pay or possibly ruin him. YAY!!) https://t.co/wSBahLtkGp

At times, it can seem as if the rule of law and democracy are veering wildly off course. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit issued an egregious opinion departing from federal standing to pursue the MAGA radical abortion agenda; the Tennessee legislature ejected two Black lawmakers for exercising their constitutional rights; and defeated former president Donald Trump threatened violence and sued a witness against him in retaliation for his indictment. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) continues his quest to obstruct Trump’s prosecution in New York. (At least Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has put Jordan’s feet to the fire in challenging Jordan’s abuse of congressional subpoena power.)

However, there are signs of hope that the rule of law is not yet extinguished.

Many people have been waiting for the moment when Trump faces consequences for his suspected and admitted financial shenanigans and his alleged abuse of women, and they are seeing a karmic balance in his most important media enabler being on the verge of disgrace for lying to its audience.

Given Trump’s multiple serious legal challenges, one has to ask if the GOP is truly prepared to put all down-ballot candidates and the presidency at risk to stand behind someone a majority already believes has committed a crime. It defies logic, and yet the GOP at this point has no Plan B.
