Are these people 13? Because I distinctly remember that being how I thought when I was 13.

Make it an already-ancient in 1970 picnic table that inevitably leaves splinters of age-grayed pine in your ass, remove the 20th century trappings, and add my redneck cousins (love those guys) setting off quarter-sticks in the woods, and you just nailed my childhood 4th of July memories.

There are plenty of fake universities already. ICE knows which they are, and who is "going" there. What was this even meant to accomplish?

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

It's not like a chargeback is zero friction, either (unless something has changed since the last time I had an unresolvable merchant dispute, which I now realize was nearly 20 years ago...)

Wasnโt going to wade into discourse on here again yet but let me just say, the jokes and threats (or whatever they are) from U.S. folks of relative privilege about leaving the country give away a lot of how people locate themselves, or rather donโt, in relation to neighbors and community.

At the risk of being tiresome in reposting my own writings on the separation of powers and executive accountability, since prominent scholars are now in the news saying "habeas corpus will still be OK"โ Montesquieu's insight was precisely that it won't be.

I had been under the impression that at least some counts covered conduct entirely before the inauguration, but apparently that's not the case. In fact it appears the earliest charged act took place on Feb 14, 2017.

"what is the limiting principle?" is always a great question. The odds that Roberts didn't consider this question approach zero.

I donโt think itโs an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.
