It's a little weird to be concerned about this now around COVID policies, and not during the last fifty years of laws passed by republican state legislatures that barely last past the ink drying on the law before getting slapped with an injunction and ultimately struck down by the courts, but not after the state AG wastes millions of dollars in taxpayer funds fighting it as high up the federal court system as possible.

Just to name a few: Book bans, anti-LGBTQ bills (bathroom bills and more), edicts on what doctor can or cannot say to patients (or must say to patients), ag-gag, voting restrictions, and anti-abortion-choice laws.

All passed with the full knowledge they'll be struck down almost immediately, with the express purpose of tying up funds of progressive non-profits and getting to brag to their base about how they're trying to further 'The Cause' (you know how conservatives are always going on about "liberal virtue-signaling? As always, they're great at projection.)

I'm not concerned about COVID policies. I'm concerned about policies and laws in general that are passed with the knowledge of their supporters that they're unconstitutional, and are later determined in the courts to indeed be unconstitutional.

Nothing about this is partisan to me. People who knowingly and intentionally violate their oaths should see consequences for their actions.

Hot take to look at the oversteps of authority around covid response… and start blaming Republicans.
