Is it possible that we could one day read this: “the Supreme Court found the Republican Party in contempt of the nation and defrocked them as a political party?"
What are the legal standards for political parties in the United States of American? The trouble begins here.
America is a renegade nation by allowing political parties to operate without proper standards and regulations commensurate with being corporations with certain obligations, responsibilities, liabilities, and accountabilities to members and the general population in which they operate.
“The legal status of political parties in the United States is far from being clearly defined. On the one hand, we do not have a mass of legislation and court decisions clearly constituting the political party as a branch of the government, as in the leading fascist countries of Europe; and, on the other hand, we do not have a situation similar to that of Great Britain or France, where political parties are practically unregulated except for laws designed to control subversive groups. To gain a concept of the legal position of American political parties, a great deal of legislation which differs widely in many particulars among the forty-eight states must be surveyed, and certain categories of common and public law must be explored. Even when the many branches of the law that seem to impinge upon the subject have been brought into view, the legal position of our political parties still seems elusive and indefinite. Yet the subject is one of considerable practical importance, since the near future is likely to bring insistent demands for new and more drastic regulation of political parties. A consideration of the rights of American political parties, and the scope of the powers of the legislature to interfere with parties in the public interest, therefore seems appropriate at the present time.”

Now, reading the news, the renegade Republicans and renegade Secretary of State flaunt the US Constitution and the citizenry with baseless lies that undermine national security and the health of the nation.
“GOP ALL IN ON ELECTION REJECTION As President Donald Trump and GOP leaders line up behind the false claim of a stolen election, the Trump-led General Services Administration is resisting signing paperwork that would give President-elect Joe Biden and his team access to millions in transition funds and official access to government officials and equipment to prepare the incoming administration. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appeared to completely dismiss the election results, saying “There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.” [HuffPost]
