i'm excited for all the insane new laws a bunch of states are going to pass in order to force a challenge in the supreme court. or the flagrant rulebreaking that industries are going to try so that they can go argue to the supreme court that burning tires in a big pit is fine because it doesn't immediately hurt people and there's no other way to do it

https://twitter.com/lib_crusher/status/1542523319211008002 Kinda cool how the Republicans had a situation where the Dems were more docile and ineffectual than an actual controlled opposition party, an institution practically designed to redirect public anger at how lovely everything is through a series of baffles until it dissipates, and are knocking it all down. Like maybe this is just the end result of 40 years of one side governing using partisan logic and the other side refusing to, but surely they have to realize that making the political conditions such that moderation is impossible is bad for them, right?
