And I’ll add for the millionth time that one of the reasons the times said it didn’t need a public editor anymore was because it was now responsive to readers on social media — and then immediately began categorically dismissing any criticism on social media

i really am going to be logged off for the holiday but i would like to drop off a parting thought: publishing a monarchist anti-voting take on the fourth of july is the strongest possible indication of someone's core, true values

It's a propaganda site. By going there you are absorbing propaganda chosen by an evil billionaire. Maybe you think you are a very special boy who, unlike other human beings, is immune to being influenced by propaganda so it's okay!

This is correct (I was there in the building, and couldn't hear a thing), but the thing is that we had finished third and the campaign was over. The media gleefully dancing on the campaign's grave was *revealing* but it wasn't determinative.

The false precision of it all it truly gobsmacking. There have been in the dozens of Presidential elections in this country, and most of them occurred when pretty much every factor was different. It is all absolute guesstimation!

This is one of the only confusing things for me about Roberts signing off on this. He clearly likes being our chief cleric; does he think that will... continue, under Maximum President Trump? That he will not be, at best, a rubber stamp?

There was an even bigger difference in the comments received. All on Threads and all but one here were positive, constructive, or neutral (one person was just being a jerk, not a troll). Only 18% on X were positive or neutral. The rest were negative, many highly so.

Again, selectively ignoring blatant corruption and the criminalization of the press because “oh well that’s just Mississippi, they should move out the state lol” is how you signal there’s no commitment at all for a true politics of solidarity, commitment to principles.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

My most beloved nerds: who is the best person to talk to in the bioethics realm about privacy after death. As in: after you die, who has the right to know things about your body/health/biology? What protections exist and/or should exist?

If you are the particular kind of person who is worried, in the middle of a decades-long Constitutional crisis, what we would do about judicial review absent SCOTUS then good news: you can also make up a new thing to do that, using the precedents of other countries that have better versions.

"That won't happen" sorry the Supreme Court just ruled that it's good and cool for Donald Trump to be king, "that won't happen" is no longer a permissible argument. I am serious about Marbury v.

"The Supreme Court will be controlled by conservatives for decades" is loser talk. You can, today, start yelling at your state Attorney General about how Marbury v. Madison was wrongly decided. If they won't agree, find a candidate to run against them who does. Keep going until this is consensus.

People significantly underestimate the degree to which the American constitution is now being defined by Nixon/Reagan/Bush government lawyers who disliked having to be responsive to a Democratic-controlled Congress.

Unitary executive theory is an example:

This is right. It's not that Roberts et al. decided *the President* is a king - clearly these standards would not apply to Joe Biden if he started breaking laws everywhere - but that Donald Trump is the king in exile.

"He's gonna be a dictator" is up there with "But it's technically illegal to strike." Politics runs much deeper than formal power and law and you can truly only push people so far under any system, including actual dictatorships. And this is a federalist system! States exist!
