To me, the worst part isn’t even Rick Perry’s text messages, it’s the casual certainty he had that sending it to the Supreme Court would work to the GOP’s favor. And he’s right. For the most part, SCOTUS is an extension of the Republican Party and big business. And they’ve already stopped vote counts before (year 2000) and seated at least one Republican “president” who lost the popular vote.
If we really lived in a democracy, Mark Meadows, Rick Perry, Donald Trump, the entire Trump family and a slew of other people would at the very least be on trial for obstruction of justice or treason. But noap. No doubt the DNC and the Biden Administration won’t want to ruffle too many conservative voters feathers going into the midterms, so they’ll “pragmatically” 😒 wait for a better time. 🙄 Like after the midterms, after the Democrats lose the House and the Senate.
