Obviously, the point in the video was directed more at the Federal level, but why do you think Keith Ellison has decided to shoot for State's Attorney General? He will have a better, more direct and less challengeable position to legally advance the Progressive agenda. He should be opposed before the end run is completed. As a State's AG he can tie up things up with lawsuits etc. and generally slow down any Supreme Court rulings by challenging them and building consensus with other Liberal States AG. It is a calculated move. More than one way to get your agenda across and as long as the Conservatives control Congress and the Presidency, they'll have to figure out how to confound the will of the people through the Legal System.
Just my opinion. I hope I'm wrong, but it never made sense to me for Ellison to leave his spot for the AG unless there was some end game.

If Keith Ellison becomes AG we have much more to worry about than just this.
