At the risk of being precisely who everyone expects me to be, I don’t think you can put term limits on justices without a constitutional amendment, and I’m 100% confident at least five current justices think you can’t.

JD Vance and >90% of the people at the RNC convention think of themselves as the good guys. Ascribing to them self-consciously evil intent does not help us understand what they are up to, nor does it help us reach the sorts of people who might vote for them but are still reachable.

Trump just named as his #2 a guy who called for insurrection charges against a journalist for writing an op-ed & wants to censor academics and seize the assets of nonprofits he opposes. The "free speech" brigades haven't said a goddamn thing. And their benefactor just pledged $150m to elect him.
