The courts have blocked a lot of the Repub efforts, particularly the NC courts. There are never ending appeals and new laws passed by their veto-proof majorities. Come January they lose their supermajorities in each house, so we can stop most new assaults on our democracy. They will have majorities but constrained by vetoes. The NC Supreme Court is solid majority Dem. AG is Dem, Sec of State, etc.

Without the courts, things would be even worse.
