dhork,

I hadn’t heard about Johnson calling for that, so I looked it up:

www.axios.com/…/mike-johnson-trump-supreme-court

“I think that the Justices on the court – I know many of them personally – I think they are deeply concerned about that, as we are. So I think they’ll set this straight,” the Louisiana Republican added.

I think that quote really puts into perspective that the GOP is no longer the party of law. If a jury hands down a decision we don’t like, we get our friends in high places to overturn it. I bet his kids never have to worry about traffic tickets, either, they all get magically “fixed” with the right phone call.

Trump’s allies are already plotting revenge, with one prospective Trump attorney general candidate telling Axios’ Zach Basu and Sophia Cai that GOP prosecutors should go after Democrats in response.

You know what? If Democrats break the law, then prosecutors should go after them! Somehow, though, I don’t think this is what they have in mind.
