Due to the utter lawlessness of the Executive branch and the enabling of that lawlessness in the Senate of the United States, we are now in a Constitutional Crisis.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NJ) said Wednesday that the full House will move “rapidly” towards holding Attorney General Bill Barr in contempt, warning that the U.S. government has entered a “constitutional crisis.” Nadler made the remarks after his committee voted in favor of recommending Barr be held in contempt for refusing to produce the unredacted report of special counsel Robert Mueller and its underlying materials, which the committee had subpoenaed. “We’ve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis, we are now in it,” Nadler said, before referencing the famous Benjamin Frank quote about United States being a “republic…if you can keep it.” “Now is the time of testing whether we can keep a republic or whether this republic is destined to change into a different, more tyrannical form of government,” he said. Nadler did not know whether the full House would vote on the contempt resolution next week, but said it would be on the floor soon.

You've got to watch this. If you don't have Netflix go to someone's house who does.

Even as another school shooting unfolded in Colorado, Trey Paradee took steps to undermine SB68 by pushing an amendment that would delay SB68's effect for a generation. In view of the plain facts, a strong case can be made that Paradee is in favour of free and breezy access to assault rifles and machine guns, and if some lunatic shoots up a school while SB68 is barred from taking effect...too bad.

Between now and Nov 3rd 2020 we can't take any days off.  Every battle is in anticipation of, and preparation for the big battle 541 days from now.  

Dear Democrat, On Wednesday, the General Assembly will consider three bills in the Senate Executive Committee that taken together, will go a long way toward curbing gun violence and reducing the threat of mass gun violence here in Delaware. Since Sandy Hook, many Democratic leaders have worked hard to pass meaningful reforms that have made our children and families safer. We've closed Delaware's gun show loophole, extended the background check period on gun purchases, banned bump stocks, and passed red flag laws that prevent known threats from possessing firearms. At every turn, the NRA tried to stand in the way, and at every turn, our leaders didn't blink. We can't blink now. That's why we're asking for your help on two important fronts: 1) Please call or write your Senator and tell them that like nearly three in four Delawareans, you support common sense gun safety reforms like banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that are manufactured to kill.

This rings true:

Political activism and organizing isn’t concerned with engaging the already engaged. Or the folks who have a financial stake. Or the people who have a very clear sense class consciousness.

Democrats arguing about Biden or Bernie on a blog is pretty useless unless it is a springboard for getting more people involved in voting in their best interest. When it is good, this blog has been a springboard for that kind of work. I've seen it. On the whole though, the GOP has been better at organizing because they have been better getting people involved in voting for nonsense and against their economic interest.

I missed this because the DEGOP is a moribund joke. Erik Raser-Schramm, however, took note:
