GOP slammed Biden’s voting order as federal overreach — but praised Trump’s

* When then-President Joe Biden issued an executive order in 2021 aiming to turn federal agencies across the country into voter registration hubs, Republicans were outraged, describing the move as extreme federal overreach.
* But Trump’s Tuesday order ([link removed]) encroaches on the authority of states to run elections far more directly than did Biden’s, and Republicans have changed ([link removed]) their tune.

* A federal appeals court yesterday slapped ([link removed]) down the Trump administration’s request to allow it to invoke the Alien Enemies Act to justify deporting hundreds of people to a Salvadoran hard labor prison without due process. The government claimed the people were members of a transnational criminal organization based in Venezuela.
* “In the government’s view, based on its allegation alone, Plaintiffs can be removed immediately with no notice, no hearing, no opportunity—zero process—to show that they are not members of the gang,” D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Patricia Millett chided.

“People are finding their voices. Please use yours.”

* That fighting spirit is generally absent in the organizational Democratic Party and its congressional leaders — at least for now, Tom Watson writes for Democracy Docket, adding national media has generally either abandoned the field, or thrown in with the enemies of democracy.
* Nor is there a broad top-down movement with successful large-scale rallies and meaningful economic boycotts. Instead, what’s driving the green shoots through the cold March soil is pure rage. And rage is a good thing. ([link removed])
