@AndrewDesiderio This is actually funny, and I don't mean the "Dept. of Redundant Department" quote from Thune, if he actually said that. No, it's the absurd narrative that Republicans who obstruct the mandate voters gave 47 are "coming to grips" with the reality of losing their grip on power.

New: Senate Republican leaders are coming to grips with the reality that advancing Trump’s priorities may be in conflict with their efforts to retain the majority. “It’s hard to divorce anything that happens here from what’s happening in the political atmosphere around us,” Thune said More than ever, R’s are fearing that Trump’s campaign of self-sabotage will bring them down with him — along with their shared legislative agenda. w/ @LauraEWeiss16 @JakeSherman @BrendanPedersen punchbowl.news/article/senate…

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places. At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction. Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that. He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building. I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left. I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders. What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration. In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years. I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter. I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial. At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not. Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me. Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness. But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford. People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war. But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges. By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business. It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

Interesting but major point: DOJ’s appeal (underway in other states) cites plain text of title III — and it has no mention of judge ruling on threshold reasons to request the files. This is a fiction by holdout states dancing on the head of a pin. The CRA is clear, bluntly so: AG gets the records upon request. That’s it. No HAVA reasons needed tho the DOJ adds that in. Likely why other states have complied. And likely why blue state cases will end up before SCOTUS to bring them into compliance w CRA.

A federal court in WI today denied the US DOJ their lawsuit seeking the statewide voter registration list. Below is what should be done now: I read the lawsuit, and then the court's order denying it. Here is where the US DOJ went wrong: The US DOJ had authority to investigate election-law compliance, but it used the wrong legal hook to force production of Wisconsin’s full unredacted voter database. They conflated HAVA maintenance duties with Title III production power. HAVA requires Wisconsin to maintain a computerized statewide list; DOJ used that as a reason to demand the list. But the claim they pled was a Civil Rights Act § 20703 production claim, not a standalone HAVA violation claim. The complaint’s requested relief was production of the full list “as required by 52 U.S.C. § 21083,” but the actual count was titled “Violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1960, 52 U.S.C. § 20703.” They asked for a current living database, not preserved election records. Title III’s structure is about retaining and preserving election-related records for 22 months after an election. DOJ asked for the current electronic SVRL with all fields, including sensitive identifiers. The court found that awkward because voter lists are continuously updated; HAVA itself requires regular additions, removals, and deduplication. The US DOJ relied too heavily on the phrase “sweeping.” DOJ quoted older Fifth Circuit cases saying Title III gives broad investigative power and a limited court role. But the court said even in a summary Title III proceeding, the judge still has to decide the threshold legal question: whether the requested material can be demanded under Title III at all. The US DOJ did not adequately bridge “registration record” to “entire unredacted voter list.” The court adopted the Benson/Fontes reasoning that § 20701 is aimed at records received from voters or outside sources, such as applications, registrations, and poll-tax records, not databases created and maintained by the state. Their request for personal information (PII) made the weakness sharper. Wisconsin had offered the publicly available voter list and refused the unredacted list because of state restrictions on elector PII. The US DOJ attached a proposed MOU to address privacy concerns, but the court never needed to reach the privacy issue because it found HAVA Title III did not apply in the first place. imo the US DOJ should have pled a direct HAVA enforcement claim under 52 U.S.C. §§ 21083 and 21111, supported by concrete facts showing Wisconsin’s voter-registration system was actually violating HAVA. Wisconsin is NVRA-exempt because of same-day/Election Day registration, but Wisconsin is not HAVA-exempt. HAVA independently requires a centralized statewide voter-registration list, unique voter identifiers, expedited entry of registration information, duplicate elimination, accuracy safeguards, and verification of driver’s-license/SSN4/unique-ID data. The US Attorney General may sue for injunctive relief to carry out those HAVA requirements. Therefore, a court-protected, field-limited production of the unredacted HAVA fields is necessary discovery or remedial relief in a live HAVA enforcement action - not a Title III demand for a “living” voter list. That would not guarantee a win, but it would be a stronger route. There is more, but you get the gist.

Accurate voter roll maintenance is a civil rights issue. Interesting update on appeals in cases where the DOJ seeks to acquire unredacted voter rolls to ensure states are complying with voter-roll maintenance laws.
AAGHarmeetDhillon@AAGDhillon

Very proud of my @CivilRights team today, arguing that the our federal civil rights laws do indeed require @TheJusticeDept to obtain state voter registration lists—such as the ones in Oregon and California—to help states clean their voter rolls!

I don’t know what’s funnier—the meltdowns from RINO senators upon learning that doing nothing has political consequences, or the meltdowns from left-wing swamp scribes who are outraged at the prospect of new Republican senators who don’t hate their own voters.
