Opinion | Scott Lemieux: 'That McConnell thinks that companies that “help” to open up the economy face a high risk of being sued shows that he is aware of what a huge gamble is being made with the lives of working Americans.' - NBCNewsTHINK

Another top Democratic priority will be to secure funding for nationwide vote-for-mail, to prevent disasters like the recent election in Wisconsin in which Republican legislators and the conservative majority U.S. Supreme Court gave voters a choice between exposing themselves to a deadly virus or not voting in a state Supreme Court race .

McConnell’s proposal, stating that House Democrats have “no interest in diminishing protections for employees and customers.” Still, the leverage held by Senate Republicans will force difficult choices in the coming negotiations, as it has in the past. Democrats should nonetheless fight hard against the inclusion of broad legal immunity in any future relief package — and not even consider limited immunity without extremely heavy concessions on top Democratic priorities by Senate Republicans.
