Last week, the president of the United States delivered a bizarre address in support of the so-called “For the People Act,” which presumes to take away the discretion of state legislatures over elections in their states. President Joe Biden described as “vicious” the recent voting laws passed in Georgia and Texas, saying they were meant to “intimidate poll workers.” The president condemned the proposed laws of these two states as “21st-century Jim Crow.”

Biden hearkened back to the violent days of the student riots of the ’60s when he reused their battle cry: “The whole world is watching.” Then, Biden shouted a call to action: “We must act!”
