I wrote a post this post the subject last November, but someone probably wrote something pithier since then.

You can have concerns about Biden's age, but still be absolutely appalled about editorial choices that convey the issue as more important than the Supreme Court offering a pre-emptive thumbs up to a criminal presidency

Yes, it seems to be a non-issue that 78-year-old Donald Trump was incapable of staying awake during his own criminal trial. He's a spring chicken, you see, the very picture of youthful vigor.

I have been saying since February that major media are 100% devoted to But Her Emails 2, but I didnt imagine it would get this bad. The day after SCOTUS stops the law applying to Trump, we have to scroll thru 4 fucking top stories on “Biden old” & an ad before getting to anything on SCOTUS decision

Friends, the NY trial court is going to be considering a motion to set aside the guilty verdict on the basis of the SCOTUS immunity ruling. You should prepare for the possibility that the court does set aside that guilty verdict.

We KNOW, based on how he governed last time, how the Trump Immunity decision will be abused if he is re-elected.
It's a decision that will one day result in a body count.
The Supreme Court majority are extremist, partisan ideologues. They are not subtle about it.

I’d bet folding money that they declare it is a complicated matter that needs to be briefed before sentencing. And, gee golly, that’ll take months. They’ll have a decision by the winter at the earliest.

There were some bright spots, certainly. Some great Bruce Sterling and William Gibson pieces, for instance. Rossetto, the founding editor, was an Ayn Rand republican. Much of Silicon Valley was more communitarian, including a lot of the writers. Wired had gotten better, SV has gotten worse.

Beware the temptation to downplay the SCOTUS ruling and to deny its potential implications. We've been down this road before.

One thing I think people forget is how relentlessly *stupid* every day of the Trump administration was. He doesn’t need to do a big elaborate complicated conspiracy, he can just (e.g.) email a list of every U.S. agent in the field to Putin and say it’s to own the libs, and *that* will have immunity.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.
