'likely' illegal

I wonder if they'll ever figure out that laws only work when the threat of them is credible, or that there is someone willing to enforce them.

Kids on the playground have a more lucid understanding of this reality than any of the people living in Elysium. If the group calls "no touch backs" but you keep doing it, you'll either end up playing alone, or beat up.

Unfortunately for liberals, conservatives likely remember the parliamentarian can just be replaced by the Senate Majority Leader (since they did that during the Bush admin days when he wouldn't allow them to do something), and the Senate Majority Leader happens to be a conservative

penned an open letter to the Inspector General of the Department of Justice and the Archivist of the United States, urging them to “take action” and investigate the DOJ’s removal of its Jan. 6 database — detailing criminal charges and convictions related to the 2021 Capitol attack — which they call a “likely violation” of federal law.

Oh well if the inspector general who wasn't sacked is on the case
