@flexghost yup.
That's why so many of us were frustrated with all of the celebration behind the way the court case worked out: it wasn't going to end up the way so many expected.
This was always going to be the outcome of the way they pursued him. And the folks who lead the charge that went nowhere won't be held accountable for their failures, even as they enjoyed the spotlight way back when.
The general public will keep falling for these stunts, sadly, as there's all too little talk about how the US governmental systems actually function, and what levers are and aren't effective for accomplishing our goals.
