It is impossible to deny there is an equivalence between former President Donald Trump and the Democratic Party when it comes to threats against democracy.
the Department of Justice should force Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas to recuse themselves from cases involving Trump and Jan. 6 riot defendants. Thomas’s crime is having a wife who has her own opinions, and Alito’s crime is that he flew a flag that wasby San Francisco up until a few days ago.
“But Raskin is simply one House member. You cannot compare him to a former president in Trump,” you may say. And yes, in a vacuum, you would have a point. Sure, Raskin is authoritarian to his bones in demanding that a Democratic administration prevent Supreme Court justices he disagrees with from ruling on matters. Yes, he is an election denier who tried to overturn the results of the 2016 election before it became the liberal media’s No. 1 crime.
There are two problems with that simplistic view, though. For one, Raskin is one of the most important Democrats in Congress, according to his own party, beingthe top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee in 2022 and being named to the Jan. 6 commission, his own election-denying history be damned.
Yesterday Hillary Clinton said the 2016 election was stolen from her. I’m old enough to remember when Democrats said these kind of comments were unacceptable and a direct attack on our democracy:The Republican who is sitting in Stacey Abrams’ chair just signed a despicable voter suppression bill into law to take Georgia back to Jim Crow.
