They will kick it down to the lower court and not rule on it. They wouldn't want to give that power to Biden.

Every member of the commentariat class who spouts this stuff is just telling you that *they* never formed a moral opinion for any reason other than to look good. They are incapable of humanity, and therefore think that holds true of everyone.

Just so everyone is clear, the Governor of Texas announces he ordered the protestors at the public university arrested because he is discriminating against their viewpoint.

A high ranking NYPD official characterized NYU faculty linking hands and refusing to move—a classic tactic of *peaceful* protest—as aggression toward its officers and he got it uncritically published by the local Fox station and every outlet that aggregated from them. wapo.st/3UwN0Vf 🎁

It is every medium tbh. I did a quick search for "State of the Union" on Instagram. Absolutely nothing on there. Okay, maybe not a Taylor Swift concert to trend. So I searched "Biden", and it was full of Right wing accounts flooding shit.

Caught an hour of NPR Super Tuesday coverage in the car. Time spent discussing Biden's age = 15 minutes. Time spent discussing actual policies of Biden's = 0 minutes. Time spent discussing Trump's plans to deport 3% of the population, end all vaccine mandates, & invoke insurrection act = 0 minutes.

This is maddening: New polling conducted by Dems finds that an alarmingly small percentage of voters surveyed are familiar with Trump's most blatant authoritarian threats, such as his "dictator" quote.
This is bad. But it's also an opportunity. 1/

It is the right's playbook. Obscure and re-define things they don't like. They have a base to buy into any bullshit they come up with immediately, and an entire nation's media apparatus that will be their megaphone to legitimize the bullshit to the rest.

Fantastic time for them to do it. Biden isn't talking about fixing the courts. Will there ever be enough senators to do that? By getting rid of filibuster? Matters only if we get another Dem Trifecta. Funnily, the only threat for them might be dictator Trump, who they don't seem to intend to stop.

Plain old whataboutism. We can indulge them and ask back "why are you supporting the end of american democracy"? If there was a topic about Israel Hamas and they brought up Biden enabling Israel, fair. This post is about Jan 6. Clearly they don't care about democracy. So I agree on blocking.

They could have just denied hearing and upheld the CO ruling. They could have scheduled it by Jan 5 like the CO Supreme court said. Instead they are scheduling this for after the primary ballots are printed and sent.
