    No congress person or senator should be allowed on TV.
    Problem solved.

    Having Jeffries and Greene on “both sides” of the front image is sort of… inaccurate

    Did Alabama make IVF illegal or problematic?

      I think that the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that they violate either the law or the state constitution.

    Two changes would be helpful in reducing the incentive to be a conspiracy monger instead of a legislator. The supreme court could rule against partisan gerrymanders, more competitive districts produce better candidates.
    Another possibility is jungle primaries such as California has. Very partisan districts might have two candidates from the same party. In that case, even a small number of voters from the excluded party could decide who wins. The incentive to promote your policy would remain. The incentive to insult the other party would go away.
    The legislative proposal (floor votes for bills with one minority vote from the committee) was interesting.

      Jungle primaries seem to have some benefits in theory, but have they really helped Cali? Doesn’t seem so. I’m now skeptical of them.

    The Alito tapes (Maybe edited) are available. Your defense is kind of smelly.
