Topic	Elizabeth Warren releases plan to "strengthen our Democracy"

I love the idea that someone is so committed to the idea as to have laid out a plan. I think she's taking it seriously. I just also think she's picking a really tough fight here. There's powers available to the President outside of congress and the courts that can be used to force issues like this. She said the same thing with her climate plans and wealth tax stuff. In the event the Democrats win only one or neither chamber of Congress in 2020, then the plan is to do most of this outside of the legislature wherever possible and work on Congress next. I guess the question is, how much of this can be executed without the support of congress? When the state election boards start bitching about federal overreach to the courts, how are those courts likely to react? King_Hellebuyck posted... This also seems like a funny thing to watch Republicans fight against. I don't think this is funny anymore. They're been fighting it in stages since the cutting of the Civil Rights act back in 2010. RBG's strongly worded dissension to that court ruling is the only reason a lot of us even know who she is. --- Ignorance is a choice https://imgtc.com/i/7UnK3hx.jpg <cite>hollow_shrine posted [p:923834982] in Elizabeth ...
