I'm all for working the Refs, but Dems need to stop thinking the referees actually exist. The supposed "objective institutions" (media law, enforcement, whatever) have never been in the business of just calling balls and strikes and even if they were they don't have the power to stop 15 men from coming on the field (badly mixing my sports metaphors).
Argue on the merits, not process or hypocrisy. No one cares about process and hypocrisy.
