"The biggest lesson learned, imo, is that enforcement of law is structurally WEAK..." kentuck Jan 2021 #34

The facts of structural weakness are clear. They're not at all up for debate as such. ancianita Jan 2021 #37

That is why the next AG is so important. kentuck Jan 2021 #43

That won't strengthen enforcement unless Congress restructures Rule of Law for the AG and DOJ. ancianita Jan 2021 #49

I found Steve Schmidt's 3 long threads last night cilla4progress Jan 2021 #62

Yes, he takes this seriously. This is a continuation of autocrats rising up and splitting off, and wiggs Jan 2021 #70

Looks like he was on with cilla4progress Jan 2021 #73

I'll read him, but he should name names. Cruz, Hawley and Graham are lining up and I don't ancianita Jan 2021 #77

Yes! cilla4progress Jan 2021 #81
