(16,616 posts)5. Great. More people seem to be getting this.
But there are some in the news media who still say dismissive things like:
"It's just a campaign stunt."
"Avoid the protests and you won't get hurt."
"It will eventually go to the courts and the courts will hold."
This is only the first step in piercing the boundaries of our Constitution that will occur over the next three months.
This is a pass/fail test IMO. If we accept this or even permit it to continue we are in severe trouble.
