(24,125 posts)No AG can force a trial or a conviction of any high profile defendant without the consent of the MAGA majority.
If folks dont like that reality, then work to elect a Dem senate that will kill the filibuster and expand the court and neutralize the current majority,

What are YOU talking about

(24,125 posts)This thread is about part of that repair - appointing an AG who will prosecute the crimes of the Trump administration.
But having a Dem president, AG, congress and senate wont matter if legislation can be blocked by the filibuster, overturned by the current SCOTUS, or if the current SCOTUS can delay, block or dismiss the prosecution of Trump administration crimes, as they did for Trumps first term.
That is why the filibuster must die, and the court must be expanded, neutralizing the current MAGA majority.
Hopefully you are less confused now.
