Thanks for this informative post. The Democrats are so infuriating. They seem emboldened by the fact that the Republicans have become straight up fascists, and the whole system is being dragged even further into the sewer. It's stunning how many reasonable objections are disregarded by the media. You do important work highlighting how certain lazy and incoherent phrasing can and will be exploited to oppress vulnerable populations. If there's one thing the Rittenhouse trial taught us, it's that a single line in a state statute can be enough for a judge to allow a killer to walk free...or be convicted for life (depending on his race). Now consider the compounding effect of thousands and thousands of lines. It's all promises until we have the reality, and we simply don't have the reality.
