    I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Democrats finally mobilized on an issue in which they have a direct, personal interest. I see that even my Senator is getting in on it, when her other brave effort to combat war crimes, genocide, and the rise of fascism is (*checks notes*) a bill to ensure that everybody in Wisconsin can watch the Packers on television.

      I get the sentiment. I will highlight, the Supremely Corrupt Court often seems to like to say, “actually that’s not your problem those people are suffering”, and dismiss cases due to the lack of standing or prematurely dismissing fascism stuff we already know was coming.

      So that would be an argument for there to be a tangible direct interest, in order to put forward a case to the courts.
