Did it again earlier today. The current update is that Eric Garland says he is close to being thrown in jail by family court, but behind his ex-wife's machinations...a hidden hand
watching british election returns the question struck me:
what would democrats do with a landslide? what’s the wish list? beyond saving democracy of course.
For about the millionth time, I’ll just say — having a public editor who could ask people how this happened and lay it out for readers would actually make the paper look better than fucking up this badly and then walking away from it without saying a word.
No real reason to try to approach these things "reasonably" at this point. If it's the Supreme Court's intention to reverse you eventually, anyway, just go ahead and proceed as you see fit. Don't try to factor their unmoored "reasoning" into your proceedings.
