    The point is to erode trust in institutions. It destroys democracy. So there really is no win here unless these are reversed if we ever return to a democracy.

      Okay and? If people respect and trust state level institutions while federal institutions are reviled id consider that a win at this point. It’s probably easier and faster just to rip the US apart and start working on a series of new systems, personally I’m rather fond of a North American Union that stretches from the Darien Gap to the Arctic circle.

          I’m curious as well. And while I applaud the (hopefully short-term) end-run around an institution that has been poisoned by conservatives, I hope we can return to norms one day.

          The short-term effort is needed because the alternative is lots and lots of people dying needlessly.
