They didn’t see the intended rally around the gestapo effect they thought they would after Minneapolis. Maybe they assumed the public would cheer on the thugs… or just wilt away in fear.

They also seem likely to lose the birthright executive order case, which was likely one of the most pathetically argued cases before the court. And like a mob boss he sat there trying to intimidate the justices.

These new tactics are quieter but may be more effective. Democrats will have a lot of shit to clean up.
