Right, and they're making a bigger deal out of this in order to gin up 
support for H.R. 1, the federal election law they want passed. And they 
want to use that to eliminate the filibuster since the Republicans in the 
Senate will use a filibuster to derail H.R.1. This isn't just about - or 
even mostly - the specific Georgia law. It's has larger connections.

In any case, the status quo here appears to be on the side of angels, 
i.e., defending black voting rights. The GOP looks like they wish to 
disenfranchise black Americans. The appearances - unfairly presented by an 
inept and corrupt media - look dreadful to the Republicans. Politics ain't 
beanbag. Humans have been living in tribes for what? 100,000 years? We 
used to kill one another; now we do more advanced things. But we're still 
tribal, aren't we?

The bill is complicated and easy to demagogue. Which is what Biden is 
doing (Jim Crow on steroids?).
