Politics Saturday comes midweek.

Ben Cline (R)
 Politics Saturday comes midweek. 

I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I don’t like to play politics. For one thing I play it so poorly. But I’ve been thinking about this, and when Linda Greenhouse wrote in this morning’s New York Times a caption for the m ball drawing I already had, I decided it was a sign—even if I don’t believe in signs. Greenhouse: “The fact that members of Congress are sometimes called ‘lawmakers’ does not, evidently, bestow on them an actual regard for law.”
     As in the case of Ben Cline (R), representative of the sixth district of Virginia—my district but not my representative—who joined, with 126 of his fellow callow, craven, trumpophantic House colleagues, in Texas v. Pennsylvania. I’ve written him that my sister, who lives in Michigan, is joining in a suit to challenge this year
s sixth district voting here in Virginia: She will allege there were 56,000 votes stolen from Nicholas Betts and credited to him (Cline). It’s not true; none of it is true: The votes were not stolen. My sister is not challenging . . . though she does live in Michigan's first district. So, she clearly has standing.
