The people in our compartment on this train to Berlin look exactly like I'd expect the people would on this train to Berlin.

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

it's time for my favorite ever law review student note: harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...
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.

The “Don’t vote” piece is not inconsistent with the “Let our columnists pick the president” ethos over there🤷

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.

"Why was there no alternative candidate?" is only a question Biden's /opponents/ within the Dems can answer, not his supporters.

More specifically: the guy was a murderer who sniped civilians for fun. His own teammates would sabotage his equipment in the hopes it would prevent him from doing so.
Reminder: Trump pardoned literal war criminals. One's actions were so bad that some of his fellow SEALs testified against him, which pretty much never happens. And Fox News then treated the pardoned criminals as heroes. Thinking this every time I see "but the military won't follow illegal orders."
Trump pardons servicemembers in high profile war crimes caseswww.usatoday.com Donald Trump granted pardons to Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance and Maj. Mathew Golsteyn. He reversed a demotion of Edward Gallagher, a Navy Seal.

Bringing the discourses together: Biden drone-strikes Mar-a-Lago. He can't be prosecuted. But Congress impeaches him. now-President Harris is the obvious choice to replace him on the Democratic ticket.

"Expand the court" has gone from radical solution to the most exceptionally moderate option on the table.

Also, this term should pretty much kill off any residual nerves about going after SCOTUS for fear of undermine the rule of law. SCOTUS *is* an existential threat to the rule of law.

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

I keep telling people that solving the constitutional crisis caused by the Supreme Court looks a lot more like changing the locks on the building than it does passing the perfect new law to reign them in.
maybe seizing and arresting the Supreme Court majority for aiding and abetting an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government can be a "core constitutional duty" and an "official act," why not
