      The good news is this is illegal.

      The bad news is Republicans probably don’t care.

            Yeah they won’t care, they’ll do it anyway, and then go after critics for being “unamerican” and “anti capitalist” per NSPM-7.

            Literally, who’s going to stop them?

            There’s so much stuff that’s absolutely illegal happening and nobody is stopping them. Being illegal or not is irrelevant if no one enforces it.

              A lot of things are being held up by the courts, many things have been reversed by the courts, but yes they probably feel invincible at the moment.
