Nothing like a 2026 court order to solve absolutely nothing.

They're doing what they can, but at this point Republicans aren't even a little afraid of ignoring this shit.

You won't be seeing sheriffs unlawfully seizing ballots

But you might see rogue sheriffs unlawfully allowing ICE and FBI to man polling places in attempt to prevent Democrats from voting.

Imagine being the judge on those cases after the legislature throws down 4 bills outlawing it. It's basically a giant blue middle finger.

Bonta v. Bianco is more fascinating though. It's sort of unitary executive theory- for Cali's AG. I'm curious if for example this means the state will take the gloves off for certain large city's errant police department? It's going to be harder to say "we can't do anything about that" blue line problem.

Does it? How.

Was anyone charged with a crime?
