Murc's Law is the assumption that only Democrats have any agency over governmental actions, even when in the minority. It's usually a position held by leftists, who assume that any bad thing the government does was at least tacitly the plan of Democrats. Massive tax cut for the rich passed without any Democratic support? Must've been the Democrats' secret wish all along.
I was thinking of that when it comes to police reform. The House is working on a laudable bill that will write into law important - if likely insufficient - reforms, like banning chokeholds, no-knock warrants in drug cases, create a national database of police misconduct and reduce qualified immunity.
The Senate Republicans will not pass it. Trump would not sign it.
The Left will blame this on Democrats.
