The Supreme Court’s conservative majority didn’t decide the legality of Trump’s order, instead ruling that states who sued did not have the legal right to challenge it.
I think they meant that it was “too soon” to challenge it because the guidelines were not officially in place yet, not that they didn’t have a legal right to challenge if states ran the election or not
“Go ahead with something that’s clearly unconstitutional, the only recourse anyone will have is letting you drag out the judicial process so long that you’ll get your way anyway.”
This is treason. They are traitors. We hang traitors.
I don’t disagree, but wanted to make the distinction known, because in this case if they draw it out past Sept 3rd, it’s likely too late to implement anything for the midterms. Republicans will need to do the opposite of draw it out if they want to make it in time for the midterms, they need to slam it through as fast as possible.
So they drop this new rule, that USPS has already said they’ll abide by, even after a lower court said “lol no”. And then when states sue for remediation, then they slow walk it.
I mean, I’m not saying that’s not possible. I’m saying it was the opposite case of your first claim. They need to move as quickly as possible to implement the guidelines before Sept 3rd. If they don’t make it in time, some states will have already sent ballots. It’s more than just USPS involved here, they’re only one part of the “guidelines” Trump wants.
The postal service, like the courts, is slow to adapt. So are the states.
All of that being said, those lucky enough to live in a state like Washington or Oregon can already cut out the postal service entirely by printing ballots at home and dropping them off at the ballot box. The postal service has no power to block the ballots that way other than the inconvenience of printing at home or a library. I have exclusively used ballot boxes the entire time I’ve lived in WA, and if fuckery does happen (which I wouldn’t be shocked by), I’ll print my ballot and drop it off.
At no point have I denied the treason aspect that you are bringing up. I am attempting to let people know how to work around it and still be able to vote. Part of fighting this treason is to work around it while the treason itself is also sorted out.
And there it is, a right wing plant blaming Democrats for Republican actions to depress the left wing vote.
If you disagree with this characterization of your post, please explain how schumer has anything to do with the Republican executive order that has just been upheld by the Republican supreme court. Also, explain what schumer could do as a minority senator beyond finger wagging to stop the Republican controlled supreme court from allowing the Republican executive branch from doing this.
I’d say the right wing plant is the one trying to convince us that the Democratic leadership aiding the Republican agenda at every turn is somehow a good thing.
You’re the one attacking schumer, who made no action in this situation. Why do that instead of attacking the right wingers who are 100% responsible for this unless you want to defend the right wing?l
You are the one who attacked someone who is in no way responsible for this. If you are truly left wing, then focus on stopping the right, not making sure the right wins.
So someone who voluntarily ran to be elected as a representative of the people in the party that is supposed to oppose Republicans isn’t doing a god damned thing to stop blatant voter disenfranchisement, yet you claim he “isn’t responsible for this?” What exactly is he responsible for if it isn’t “opposing republicans” and isn’t “representing the people?”

Sent ballots out, sure. But they can be sent back as long as they’re postmarked up to election day.
Do you mean ballots sent through the USPS from a voter to the election commission? Or am I misunderstanding?
Ballot drop boxes are not operated by the postal service.
Yes, the first one. Yes, I know that many people can “work around” the treason by using drop boxes. It’s still treason.

Oh don’t you worry, Chuck Schumer is warming up his finger wag as we speak

In that case, the right wing plant is you.
Bold of you to assume right wingers are the only ones who dislike Schumer

That’s precisely the problem.

Plant, or useful idiot?
