Not really. OFC republicans object to having the feds make a list of citizens names. As you mentioned earlier, that's their entire brand on federal level gun control. Obviously, the "fraud commission" was one toke over the line on this one. What -may- be surprising, to some anyway..is that among those republicans standing up to the request from Kris Kobach...is Kris Kobach. Sure, in a wheedling semi-compliance sort of way, but still..credit where credit is due. That Kobach guy knows what an asshole that Kobach guy is better than most of us.
In December of 1941, Gerd von Rundstedt, in charge of Germany's Army Group South in the invasion of the USSR, was planning to retreat about fifty miles to consolidate his lines in preparation for winter offensives from the enemy. When Hitler learned of this, he telegraphed Rundstedt to stay right where he was, "not one foot back".
The Field Marshal telegraphed back that the order was foolish and if he, Hitler, wanted it followed, he would need to find someone else to do it.
It's a shame that Kobach didn't tell the Shitgibbon to go hammer sand up his ass. I guess even six months on the teat has him already hooked?
