    The court’s Republican justices denied Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s motion requesting Berger Jr.’s recusal on Friday, writing that the Senate leader was involved in the case in an official capacity only — not a personal one.

    Naked corruption. Why do we let them get away with shit like this? You can’t have a fair fight with a group who believes the ends justify the means because they’ll cheat at every opportunity.

      Why do we let them get away with shit like this

      Because at some point people kept voting in republicans, which led to a R house, R senate, R Supreme Court, gerrymandered-to-shit-and-back districts ensuring R representatives forever, so what can even be done about it? We could appeal to the Supreme Cou—oh wait. We could pray for a democratic govern—oh wait, they’ll keep getting overridden. Long shot: summon Sherman to come back for another pass?
