which it does. There are enough progressives in the Senate and House to disrupt proceedings, cause chaos, put on a show for corporate media whenever the fascists pull their daily shit. Go after the fascist scotus court with everything we have, do what the fascists would do if we were the ones pulling their shit. Its like trying to fight a dirty fighter with one arm tied behind our backs, that dog don't hunt.
