Democratic policy wonks had better be drafting legislation to reverse the damage done by Trump and McConnell:
1. Obamacare+, after the Supreme Court’s imminent overturning of Obamacare.
2. Federal abortion rights legislation after Roe v. Wade is overturned.
3. Anti-gerrymandering legislation.
4. Genuine campaign-finance legislation to take the money out of politics, to the greatest degree possible.
5. Re-enactment of the Fairness Doctrine to mandate equal time for opposing views on TV and radio.
6. Legislation to replace all the “norms” ignored by the Republicans in the Trump era, e.g.,
•Appointment of Supreme Court judges
•Separation of Attorney General and Dept of Justice from politics
•Beefed up Hatch Act
•Laws to put teeth into the Emoluments Clause
•Laws to require government officials to testify when called by Congress
•A law specifying the conditions under which a sitting President may be prosecuted
. . . and so on!
