Just when we thought Republican perfidy knew no bounds, we encountered a shaft of hopeful light. Dave Yost, the attorney general of the state of Ohio, officially came out in opposition to the ridiculous, Trump-appeasing plea to the Supreme Court by Texas AG Ken Paxton to overturn the election.
Yost is not a Democrat.
Meanwhile, 22 other state attorneys general have also filed briefs against Paxton's hail Mary. "This represents a profound and outrageous rejection of democracy with no precedent in our nation's history," tweeted AG Josh Stein of North Carolina. "It would also violate some of our nation's most basic Constitutional principles, including federalism and respect for state law."
AG Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania was even tougher. He called it a "seditious abuse of the judicial process." Drag 'em, Josh!
It's obviously more important to the GOP to pacify the malevolent 74-year-old toddler in the White House than to protect American democracy, because if this stupid suit somehow succeeded, it would throw the United States into its worst Constitutional crisis in 150 years. And if they're doing it because they know it will fail, their cynicism is almost even worse. Never mind that 3,000 Americans a day are dying from COVID, and this is what they're occupying themselves with.
Could the Republican Party hurry up and destroy itself already? Because the collateral damage is starting to be felt. We cats HISS.
