Only Congress Can Save US Democracy From GOP Attack: Voting Rights Attorney | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
How can 1 party oversee votes in an election ? That is completely non-democratic & one would believe , unconstitutional .
It’s “unity” for Democrats and autocracy for republicans. Don’t you love that double standard?
@FredrickTesla Please watch something other than Fox news. You’re living in a bubble of misinformation. Your racism is probably blocking your mind from seeing facts. It really is a sad way to live.
@Rick GrimesAwww, peanut, you sound triggered. LMFAO.
Reported.
@The Truth Is Out 777 Look. In. A. Mirror. And stop projecting.
@Kiera Shepard – It is true, I am offended at lying.
Reported.
The Supreme Court can…… oh wait, cancel that
@The Truth Channel You’re rambling gibberish. I don’ care if you talk, nobody is trying to silence you so why bring it up dude..
@Ken Rimmer *YOU KNOW I HAVE 4 YEARS of PROOF YOU’RE a LIAR and NOT ONLY A LIAR but a FELON*
@Ken Rimmer *YOU CAN PRACTICE YOUR ‘RIMMING’ in PRISON. I HEAR QUITE a LOT of that GOES ON THERE* )-
@The Truth Channel get a grip, you wanna be taken seriously don’t talk about your ‘proof’ show it! We had 4 years of BS we don’t need more.
A 1600+ year old surname doesn’t have much to do with my sexlife so stay focused please.. and stop spewing garbage nonsense.
@The Truth Channel THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS ON THE LEFT JUST SO YOU KNOW. YOU DON’T HAVE TO TYPE LIKE THIS.
Get used to these words “Banana Republic”
How could it be anything else with president Potato Head in the Whitehouse?
In the immortal words of the bard ” a pox on all your houses” , all politicians on both sides are morally corrupt with their noses well and truly in the trough .They are not their to “represent the people” just the interests of those with money
Your founding fathers would be ashamed and are turning in their graves
@Mark Cicero you should ask yourself why you’re so afraid of Democracy
It’s what the establishment dems have wanted for years!
brilliantly said, ty both! and yes to suing them, AG garland needs to step in too! remember rfk in the 1960s!
SIRHA SIRHAN WAS A DEMOCRAT MANCHURIAN OPERATIVE
bye-bye russian troll, no 85 rubles for you.
Thank you Mark Elias for your service.
Joseph Ayala …The former president couldn’t have spoken so well in a million years
TRUE💯👍🙏I THANK U! I have never seen our Country so in Danger from Within!! I’m Fearful of our Future🤔😢I used 2 Proud 2 be American…Not So Much Now
States already require voter identification including signed affidavits, signature verification and biographical information. GQP have abandoned Democracy in favor of Authoritarian rule. Do not let the fascists win.
We are in a fascist rolling GOP coup.
Article 1 Section 4 of the Constitution ‘Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such regulations (affecting elections for Senators and Representatives) Pass HR 1 For the People’s Act already
Sure Hope so fairness for all tax payers not just Rich and elite.
They’re scared and I’m glad they’re scared they should be scared
GOP: “We’ve learned our lesson on Jan 6.”
– That democracy is sacred and needs to be protected at all costs?
“No, how to corrupt it in a more perfect way.”
That is what they said after Trump’s first impeachment
Georgia has learned how to fight democracy.
@Edwin Portner Georgia GOP believes they have. Hope what they’ve actually done is overstep and that many republican voters will rethink their votes at least until this generation of tyrants are out of office.
Exactly what they are trying to do
The USA has been rated as a ‘Failed Democracy’.
The experiment is over. You can’t rely on Congress to be on the side of the people.
Most Republicans in congress cannot be relied upon; however, Democrats must step up.
I said that to my daughter on June 1.
“We the people” are the first and mot important words of the US constitution.
Court challenges take years to finalize and that can be after democracy has been eradicated.
Have you ever said the pledge of allegiance?
So the republicans have declared themselves the rulers of elections in this country…sounds like an authoritarian stance to me…guess they all drank the losers kool aid
The picture of Kemp signing , surrounded by 6 older white men, says it all about racist America. Democracy has disappeared in America
It is laughable that USA is declared as the greatest Democracy in the world when individual States are able to suppress voters this blatantly as in Georgia to stop voters from one party to vote.
Yes it is a sad day. I thought the 1964 voting rights act was it. But, I guess we need to fight for our right to vote again.
As long as you have extreme right wing politicians in charge anywhere this fight will be a never ending saga
Federal election laws is an absolute must, now.
The slow coup has moved to state level.
“…we can’t count on the courts” – scary how matter-of-factly he said it!
THE GOP has one message: we will make laws to make this a country that only GOP can manipulate, control, supress and intimidate in order to stay in power. Colorblind and colorless driven.
The filibuster must go now for Democrats to pass the voting rights act S1 now.
I want this to go to the Supreme Court and settle this once and for all.
