      A state will never get HitlerPig, he’s got SCOTUS immunity superpowers, but that immunity doesn’t extend to anyone else. If one of his henchmen has broken state laws, throw the state book at them.

          Whats to buy? Its simple: If The MuskRat has been bribing people for their votes, and it violates state laws, that state can choose to arrest him, prosecute him, and imprison him, and there is nothing HitlerPig can do about it. He can pardon for federal crimes, but not state crimes.

          The problem is that there are lot of major tipping points lining up, and everybody is waiting for one to finally tip. Maybe it will be the arrest of The MuskRat, maybe it will be the Luigi trial/verdict, maybe it will be the first American citizen that gets designated as a terrorist and shipped to El Salvador without due process, maybe it will be the cancellation of SS payments, maybe it will be a violent government reaction to a protest, etc.

            So you don’t have a single example where a connected crony of the federal gov, is actually brought to justice by a State?

            I bet you the pizza of your choice nothing will happen tobMusk over this clear vote bribing

              Of course I don’t, that’s the point. It’s time for this to start happening. HitlerPig is using an archaic, rarely used, ancient law to justify the worst sort of authoritarian behavior (denied due process), so why not use actual contrmporary laws that are enforced every day, and for which ANY other person would be charged for?

              The Right is always screaming about State’s Rights, but they never consider how the swords they deploy against their enemies have two edges, and can be turned against themselves as well. Building an opposition strategy around State’s Rights, and using alliances between Blue states to stand up against MAGA is one way to consolidate and focus resistance.
