This is almost worse than the revelation that the Post decided to ignore the Alito's flying a flag associated with the insurrectionists. Imagine how insulated you have to be from public opinion to think "trust me, she is a fun gal" is a worthwhile message.

I think it would be useful for the WH to give people a narrative that the GOP is being run by criminals and people who cannot possibly relate to them. Tell them they’re good people who don’t have to settle for a convicted felon as their candidate

It sure would be comical if Samuel Alito had recently published an opinion in which he expressed strong feelings about flags and wrote that passersby viewing a flag flying over a building would naturally assume the flag conveys some message on the owner's behalf

Looks like Sam Alito lied about why there was an upside-down flag flying over his home days before Joe Biden's inauguration, mimicking the Jan 6 insurrectionists.

There are 10 democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Six were in the senate at the time of Cannon's appointment vote. Three did not vote at all, two voted against and one (Chris Coons), voted to confirm. Dick Durbin, your current chair, did not vote. Seems fitting.

Delaware's corporation law has the single most consistent and reliable body of law in America, applied by an consistently competent and fair Chancery Court, and so of course the plan is to muck all of it up for the benefit of billionaires and private equity.

Alito deflected responsibility by blaming his wife, noting the short time the flag was placed upside down, and, ultimately, blaming the neighbors. But, pace Gillers, Alito did not claim that he didn't know this happened; nor did he say he didn't understand the meaning of the stop-the-steal flag.

not to harp on my own hobbyhorse but one big problem is that SCOTUS consists of people who are peers to those in the legal academy. would be better if at least a few justices were high-level politicians in a previous life. no illusions about who or what they are, then.

According to this poll released today, immigration isn’t the top issue — it’s the sixth.
Americans care more about threats to democracy and health care, and almost as much about gun violence.
Is the @nytimes.com following the Will of the People, writing as much about those issues as the border?

As part of Trump's immunity claim, Kavanaugh focused on Ford’s decision to pardon Nixon in 1974. It's hard not to wonder, though, whether Kavanaugh has read the pardon itself — which seems to make clear that former presidents *can* be prosecuted and *aren't* immune.

i think the best way to understand the supreme court's conduct in trump v. united states is as an explicit effort to intervene in the 2024 election on behalf of the former president. it is a gross abuse of power on par with dred scott and deserves to be met with sanction from the elected branches.

He lost, and wanted to appeal, only his CA lawyer didn't understand that "it's due by midnight" meant midnight in NH, not CA. 🤣
