On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

Look, if the president empanels a death squad of US Marshalls who’ve sworn a blood oath to do his bidding, we can just vote him out.

Look, I'm willing to try anything at this point.

The worst thing about this is the practice of law *requires* lawyers/scholars/judges to imbue this (and other) lawless nonsense with coherence, so they can deal with actual cases affecting real people. The people tasked with making sense of it are forced, essentially to launder the illegitimate.

So based on decisions from just this week, the President, as long has he has the gloss of officialdom, can basically do anything without legal restraint, whereas the President, acting via duly appointed agencies authorized by Congress, is more restrained than ever? What a coherent jurisprudence!

I think about this line a lot these days.

Me, when I think about the ability of our media to accurately process and convey what happened today.

“He’s just stayed too long in the job,” David Remnick muses between bites of Waverly Inn frittata, “and there’s a whole civilization at stake.” Anna Wintour nods thoughtfully without looking away from the fireplace. “It’s about to rain,” she says.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

People dodge the distinction between Biden having some trouble speaking and having trouble thinking, but it’s a real distinction and they should have their feet held to the fire on it.

The words “Kamala Harris” do not appear in this editorial. What are we doing here?

NY Times editorial board calls on the President to drop out of the race: www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/o...

Opinion | To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Racewww.nytimes.com The president’s inadequate performance in the debate made it clear he is not the man he was four years ago.

How your debate skeets find me.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will hold an alternate debate Thursday night after failing to qualify for CNN’s. Kennedy will answer the same questions as President Biden and former president Donald Trump in real time.

Live updates: Trump, Biden arrive in Atlanta in first 2024 presidential debatewww.washingtonpost.com Donald Trump and President Biden are set to take the debate stage at 9 p.m. Thursday for the first time in 2024.

This is correct but a lot of people who should know better say different and I’d love to get a peek at *their* legal writing.

Gorsuch is such a bad and smug writer. What does "it" refer to in this first sentence? He takes until the end of the graf to kind of explain it, and then only really clarifies in the beginning of the next graf. If you're going to start with that sentence, you better clarify what you mean immediately

They should instead go with Ecclesiastes 1:9 because First Amendment wise, we’ve done this a few times. “Only that shall happen Which has happened, Only that occur Which has occurred; There is nothing new Beneath the sun!”

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana becomes the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms.

Reskeet with your mental state.

“Don’t Forget Me,” by Dermot Kennedy, a/k/a Delta Airline’s indefensible, creepy, incel deplaning anthem.

Name a song you hate: "Hey sugar mama, come and dance with me The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me Whatever tickles your fancy Girl, it's me and you like Sid and Nancy So sexy, almost evil, talkin' 'bout butterflies in my head"

I keep reading this as “make a band less mid” instead of “mild” and that is interesting. Like The Red Hot Chili Peppers without Anthony Kiedis.

STOP HAMMER TIME!

school kids bunkered in a classroom around the nation hearing rapid fire shots in the corridor will be very happy to know that well akshually /technically/ it's an altered semiautomatic rifle with a plastic mechanism designed to allow rapid re-engagement of the trigger mechanism and not a machinegun

An overwhelming supermajority of the world’s Jews are Zionists. The common belief they share is that Israel should exist. That’s it. Most everything else is contested. Perhaps turning that word into an epithet and carte blanche to do and say whatever you want to that 85% or more of Jews is unwise.

Protesters chant 'raise your hand if you're a Zionist' aboard New York City subwayabc7ny.com Video shows the moment apparent pro-Palestinian protesters aboard a crowded New York City subway began to chant: "Raise your hand if you're a Zionist... this is your chance to get out."

There's no messaging available to Democrats more powerful than right of center religious and political organizations continuing to state loudly and unequivocally that they are not only coming for abortion, but IVF and contraception too. There's no speech Biden can give bigger than that.

in the hallmark store looking for something that says “sorry I threatened your daughter” under the “for sentencing judges” section

SEE E.G.

At some point Democratic elected officials will notice that when Donald Trump has a personal setback the majority of the population literally celebrates in the street, I hope.

MY WIFE IS NOT THE ISSUE!! I hope that my wife will someday learn to raise and lower her own flags, but if she doesn't, sir, that will be her problem, not mine, just as your rug is your problem, just as every bum's lot in life is his own responsibility regardless of whom he chooses to blame.

I hope people understand that what we are seeing is the systematic destruction of the civil war amendments by the Supreme Court, which are what made America and actual democracy and upon which all minority rights in the United States rely
