Or a national legislation, sure. Or an end run by an activist FEC. Or, or, or…
I don’t see a coalition of politicians ready to do this. Even the Hawaii case is heavily overstated, as its DOA in the courts. Like, I love to see the attempt, but I’m not bullish on the governor standing ground.
We’ll have to see how Hawaii plays out - if it actually does get overruled then that becomes a valid argument, but simply dismissing as “DOA in the courts” isn’t.
