King John: Remembering the Magna Carta. EmptyWheel.
Since we're at Mt. Rushmore this morning, this is what now constitutes 'auditioning' for the VP: Pick me! Pick me! I kill puppies! Stefanik and Empty G are going to have to step up their game. There is an encyclopedia of subtle messages here.
Trump VP contender Kristi Noem writes of killing dog – and goat – in new book
The "downside" to designing a country to be tied closely to a religion is that it's difficult for people to criticize that government without being seen as criticizing the religion (Looking at you, Isreal and almost every other country in the middle east!)
I put "downside" in quotes cuz I can see some folks thinking of this as a feature, not a bug.
SCOTUS’ handling of Trump’s absurd immunity claims appear to reinforce the growing perception that it is guided not by constitutional principles, but by objectively partisan outcomes.
You dance with the one who brought you. And that they certainly do.
Expect for Kavanaugh who doesn't just adhere to a sense of fealty to the GOP but in addition to loyalty has a burning hatred towards those who – in his eyes – wronged him during his confirmation process.
If Biden wins in November and any vacancies occur during the next two years, they will remain vacant unless the Dems gets a Senate majority in 2027.
If Trump wins in November, expect Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito to step down and let him replace them with 40-ish RWNJs who will be confirmed by the GOP-led Senate next year.
Conservatism: It was all a lie. The Bulwark
Continues…
Yup! Anything to move the window to the right.
