1. I get the philosophy of letting the ReThugs own this mountain of authoritarianism

but it also comes off as defeatist. Send everything to the courts. There are a ton of Democratic-appointed Federal judges out there. You have to do SOMETHING while democracy is being eroded at a record pace!

3. That is a problem. If the minority leader in the House has to ask that question publicly, perhaps he isn't the person

for the job.
