CHUCK SCHUMER, MEET CHUCK SCHUMER: Today, the filibuster is killing democracy, so it must be abolished. Once upon a time not that long ago (2005, to be exact), the filibuster had to be protected to save democracy. Well, Mr. Senate Majority Leader, which Chuck Schumer are we to heed?
#RESIST: A reader sends these sightings from the Marietta, Georgia area, commenting, “This is turning into an underground treasure hunt like Pokémon Go.”
And, via another reader, a reminder that it’s not just gas pumps:
ONE THING YOU DON’T WANT IN AMERICA: That would be, according to James Madison, Alexis de Tocqueville and more than a few other really wise folks, a tyranny of the majority. Jeff Dunetz at The Lid tells us such a tyranny is the key issue underlying this week’s debate in the U.S. Senate on whether to abolish the filibuster.
SO YOU’RE SAYING HE’S NOT WRONG?

EVERYBODY IS GOING TO GET COVID: China Tightens Lockdown Measures As Omicron Spreads To Another Port City. “What’s more, Chinese health authorities have repeatedly confirmed new cases of omicron in increments of two. As we know, omicron doesn’t spread like this. Where there are two cases, there are likely more. But if we have learned anything over the past two years, it’s that China’s numbers aren’t to be trusted. Chinese authorities have suspended six more US flights in coming weeks amid a surge in passengers testing positive for COVID. This brings to 70 the number of cancellations this year.”
“Zero COVID” is impossible, but it’s fun watching Chinese communists (as well as authoritarians closer to home) discredit themselves with every worthless measure.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: GOP Governors Try To Clean Up Biden’s Border Nightmare. “While the Democrats are busy lying about Jan. 6, their real plans to permanently corrupt our elections, and making up a host of imaginary monsters under the bed, Republicans have to deal with the real world. A lot of what goes on in this world involves dealing with messes made by the Democrats. And they are a messy bunch.”
JUDICIAL IMPROPRIETY: Lawyer Lin Wood Was Wrongly Faulted by Delaware Trial Court. “More questionable yet was the court’s insinuation that Wood was at least partially responsible for the troubling events that occurred at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021—a topic not addressed in the Rule to Show Cause. . . . Because the Superior Court’s revocation order is based on factual findings for which there is no support in the record and because the court failed to explain why Wood’s withdrawal would not moot the court’s concerns about the appropriateness or advisability of Wood’s continued admission, we find that the court’s revocation order was an abuse of discretion.”
Plus: “Both the tone and the explicit language of the Superior Court’s memorandum opinion and order suggest that the court’s interest extended beyond the mere propriety and advisability of Wood’s continued involvement in the case before it. In fact, one cannot read the court’s order without concluding that the court intended to cast aspersions on Wood’s character.”
The January 6 “riot” or “insurrection” is mostly an excuse to go after political opponents of the regime.
The lower court ruling was by Superior Court judge Craig A. Karsnitz. His bio is here.
ICYMI: FBI REFUSES TO EXPLAIN FBI ROLE IN JANUARY 6:
In September, the New York Times confirmed that FBI informants infiltrated the Proud Boys, an alleged militia group, and participated in the first breach of the Capitol perimeter right before 1 p.m. The man seen with the Proud Boys before the first intrusion was Ray Epps.
Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asked Matthew Olsen, head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, whether any plain-clothes officers were at the Capitol on January 6. Olsen, who announced today the formation of a domestic terror unit within DOJ, said he was not “aware” of any plainclothes officers within the crowd or inside the building on January 6. Cotton slammed Olsen for repeatedly refusing to give the committee specific answers. “Did you prepare for this hearing, did you know this hearing was happening before this morning, Cotton asked Olsen.
Cotton also pressed Olsen about Epps; Olsen deferred the question to Sanborn. “Do you really expect us to believe you’ve never heard the name Ray Epps, you don’t know anything about him?” Cotton asked. Olsen said he had “no information at all” about Epps.
Fortunately though, one man in Washington is on the case! ‘Just another misled man:’ Rep. Adam Kinzinger puts to rest all doubts about ‘Ray,’ says he apparently broke no laws so was let off.
TRY, TRY AGAIN: Amazon workers will redo Bessemer union election on February 4th. “The election will be carried out almost a year after workers originally voted on whether to unionize Amazon’s BHM1 facility. The union lost that election nearly two-to-one but disputed the results, taking issue with a mailbox that employees feared Amazon had access to. The mailbox was installed by the USPS, at Amazon’s request, and at one point had a ‘privacy tent’ put up around it, which the NLRB says employees believed was monitored with video.”
