The GOP isn't just alienating corporate America, big law firms are joining the fight

"SNIP.....

Not only are American corporations readily ignoring Sen. Mitch McConnell's threats to shut their traps about voter suppression laws, now big law firms are getting active in the fight too.

Some 60 major law firms are uniting around an effort “to challenge voter suppression legislation and to support national legislation to protect voting rights and increase voter participation,” Brad Karp, chairman of the heavyweight law firm Paul Weiss, told The New York Times. 

Though the group has not been formally announced, Karp promised it would "emphatically denounce legislative efforts to make voting harder, not easier, for all eligible voters, by imposing unnecessary obstacles and barriers on the right to vote.”

The firms are teaming up with the Brennan Center for Justice, a nonprofit organization that has been tracking Republican legislation across the country, to strategize about which laws to file legal challenges against. 

.....SNIP"

And rigged elections. What he did in short time to dismantle our elections and the lemmings who followed his lies.

11. There are still only a relative few who sow divsion.

There is perhaps time remaining to defang them before theirs becomes a force unstoppable only by violence. Every means available is a welcome tool but the media is the ultimate lever in moving public opinion. The founders understood this even in their candle lit age. What needs to be revealed is how Fox and their crowd, in this age, represent an abridgment of a free press.

20. The relative few broadcast to the many. And they are easily duped to believe and follow.
