Beautiful! Reminds me of a photo series one of the offspring did for my birthday a few years ago. 12 photographs - same angle, same focus — every hour of the waking day. I mention it because I gathered them in one poster-sized image 4 rows, 3 in a row, and framed it. Highly recommend doing that!!

Dahlia Lithwick: “Roberts cannot bring himself to even imagine the thing that actually happened.. Sotomayor can’t blind herself to it…she is viscerally affronted at the double denialism: What you saw with your own eyes didn’t occur, and what we have now authorized with our own pens can never happen”

Also heard the word “institutionalist” used several times unironically to describe Roberts.

Steve Bannon is in prison for contempt and Rudy Giuliani just lost his N.Y. law license, but John Roberts insists that invisible ink in the Constitution prevents Donald Trump, the ringleader, from facing charges for virtually anything that Trump can claim was an official act.

If this decision was in place during Nixon’s time in power, there would be no tapes, no DOJ refusals, no Gerald Ford pardon, etc. That said, the limited congressional oversight and checking of the executive branch since then has allowed previous presidents to operate AS IF immune on many matters…

I thought I heard this qn & decided I must be wrong. What an asshat question on this day of all days. I myself wish he’d said something more “decisive and bold” (!) like “the Ct, in removing the guardrails of democracy, has gone rogue. This isn’t like losing your voice at a debate. This is serious”

“A decision for the ages,” Gorsuch said. And Roberts stopped to wag his finger at the three women Justices (who are in fact more conservative than he is). If Biden can only rise to the occasion…

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Sotomayor: “With fear for our democracy I dissent”. Court won’t allow an aspirational fascist to be accountable in court. Politics is flooded with money and disinformation, gerrymandered and electoral colleged, so our hands tied there too. Biden has 3 months to officially add seats to the Court and…

In the debate TFG asked Biden if he’d ever fired anyone, as if that is the real leadership test. Now people call for Biden to fire his advisors: heads should roll! But this is a TFG talking point. I wish Biden had been able to say I don’t fire people. I build an economy so people can hire people!

It’s the televisual, stupid. You know how Jan 6 committee hired television producers to make their findings appealing for TV? Those TV people should now be on retainer for Biden and Harris. Reading today’s story about how Biden was prepped makes it clear that no one on board understood the mission.

When he sides with Putin, he’s saying he prefers strongman politics over a rights protecting democracy. This is not a game. The presidency is not an interview for game show hosting. Let him go back to what he is good at-manipulating your feelings on TV-& leave the serious stuff to the grown ups.”
