Love the swing states with preemptive laws on the books to prevent progress

How is it even legal to pass a law saying you can't regulate this thing? That seems highly contestable.

Probably for the same reason its perfectly legal for a state with republican controlled state senate to hold a post-election lame duck session where they shove through a bunch of legislation limiting the powers of the state governor because their guy happened to lose the election

It would sure be neat if the Democrats were as motivated to pass legislation as the Republicans can be.

They’re too busy trying to make their party so big tent that they guarantee no one in it will be able to agree on anything.
