All this is obvious, true and but for a couple of very brave pieces in WSJ, not reported or discussed in US corporate media, which are afraid of him.

“So many people came out to see me in Alabama last night. The Fire Marshall threatened to shut the rally down because we were so bigly over capacity. And I was told that there were over 300,000 outside, crying because they couldn’t get in to hear me. We could hear them all crying from inside. Sad.”

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
