19. That Is In The Statute

Sun Dec 6, 2020, 04:44 PM

Dec 2020

I read it yesterday.
The contempt is more probable than the voting rights issue.
Much easier to prove, and not as easily defended by claiming "cost containment".
Containing costs has nothing to do with ignoring a court order.
Personally, I think Biden should try it.
I also think they can make life tough & get him to leave because he hates the gig.
