The odds of the 11th Circuit reassigning it are so limited anyway that it’s very hard for me to assess (and I don’t know them or practice there). It wouldn’t keep her from getting reversed, regardless.

Look, I have no faith at all in SCOTUS, but historically Clarence Thomas writing an opinion that no one else joins does not indicate that everyone else is itching to jump on the bandwagon

To be clear, this bill is nonsense, and he is straight-up calling for the murder of every Democrat in Congress. It is already illegal, as a matter of federal law, for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This doesn't change that. What it does is a national ID mandate for voter registration.

I’m not a reporter but I did have a blogroll once, so here’s some follow-ups for the former president that seem important: which parts of Project 2025 do you disagree with? Would you appoint anyone to your admin that is supporting it? How do you feel about the “bloodless if the left allows” comment?

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

I had a newborn at the time so I was awake for the “Trump has Covid” news alert and I couldn’t believe it. I had to restrain myself from waking up everybody else.
