Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.

Trump, who tried to overthrow an election, campaigned persistently for his fellow party members to grant him absolute immunity for his misdeeds in office. And they did. If you can't distinguish between "energy in the executive" and a constitutional crime spree, you've given up on US democracy.

***SCOTUS rules 6–3 that Trump is immune from prosecution for "official acts" during his presidency. NOTE: This does not sink Trump's prosecution altogether, because as Justice Barrett noted during argument, Trump is being prosecuted for many *unofficial* acts www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

I don’t normally feel my age but constantly going up and down these stairs to reach the lake house rental makes me feel all 50 of my years.

I’ve never done charcoal grilling myself, but the lake house we’re renting only has a charcoal grill. It was a learning experience. Burgers turned out tasty.

This is not what they ruled; they ruled than an injunction can stay in place while the case proceed through the lower courts. This headlines makes it sound like the Court vindicated the right to an emergency abortion; they did not.
