Blindly relying on GNIS is silly, particularly when that dependency is forced on users.
(Also, what fucking law exempts GNIS edits from the APA? Can a Democrat President just rename everything in every red state to random strings?)
A Democrat president must do this to teach the Republican strategists, representatives and voters consequences of actions. Then they will be ready for 'sensible compromise, reform and limits on executive power'.
I’m not advocating for counterbattery partisanship per se. But if demonstration is literally what it takes to get this to stop (or escalate to a point where everyone agrees it’s a crisis), so be it. At the very least, someone should be promising this to primary voters to get the conversation going.
If anything, it strikes me more as a flood the zone tactic, not that the dems need help with distraction - They were obsessing over some stupid reflecting pool while Jan 6 pardon expansions were taking place.
