As Bird said, what can they? This has been among the most distressing developments in this whole sordid mess, if not the most. They are literally making laws to facilitate Trump's getting away with having broken laws!
I feel like they do, in that the answer is "don't allow stuff like this", but if the voters elect a Republican legislature & a Republican Governor, I'm not sure what the minority party in a state can actually do. The answer, as always, is: vote Democrat, even if you have to hold your nose to do so, & just... hope enough others do as well.
They're not following an Israeli policy. Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Franco etc. all distort and weaponize government agencies to go after their political opponents and others they deem as threats to order.
A principled stance, Illinois style.
It seems that when the republicans lose they find loads of stuff to do, when they win even the smallest margins they find ways to push their agenda. When the dems lose they say "we have to be better", when they win they mostly get blocked by the minority. I do not have an answer, but it does seem that one side is more accepting of "what can we do, nothing" than the other.
Or, one side is more honest about their goals/plans.
I think that the Democrats are bound to a very rigid sense of procedure, of "the right way to do things", that makes it very easy to obstruct them when they're out of power, and very easy to overrule them while they're in power. They believe in procedure where the Republicans believe in politics, and both parties behave like it.
Procedurally? I'm not challenging the veracity of your claim; I just can't myself think what you might have in mind here.
So, he's finally admitted that he lost in 2020, then...?
