Which renders the squawkings meaningless, and no balance to what I have asserted truly about the right wing in our polity.

We will leave aside items such as the actual facts of the 2000 election, which was more or less stolen by a combination of deliberate acts by the Republican government in Florida and partisan disregard for precedent and election law by rightists on the Supreme Court, and facts of gerrymandering at present, which are such that though over a million more people voted for Democratic representation in the House, that body contains a majority of Republicans.
