So the Supreme Court just normalized impeachment as a way to deal with autocrats. DNC should focus on all Senate seats that can be flipped blue.

Did you mean "rein in Presidents", or "reigning President"

Oh wow. Combine that with the two-step Senator McConnell put in (no we won't impeach but he is subject to the law) and there's a real webbing of a straitjacket they've put us all in.

Unfortunately laws require norms too, as they do not enforce themselves.

Frustrating how these statements never take the logical next step and call for a constitutional overhaul. I feel like that would be better than hoping the right guy wins forever!

I was happy to vote for Biden, because he was not Trump. But the ONE thing I really, really, REALLY was hoping he'd be able to do during his term—beyond anything else—was to convert all these "that's just the way it's always been done" and "expected protocols" in government into ACTUAL LAWS.

Alt text: To a huge degree, our system of government relies on norms. Our constitution is VERY brief. DJT showed how easy it was to topple norms. SCOTUS just declared that we're supposed to trust to "norms" to reign in presidents. If they are of good character, all will be fine. 1/2

The USA is a criminal protection racket. Always has been. Selective vision changes nothing.

do you have your id ready when ever you buy medicine or alcohol? the law requires everyone to show ID but some people think it's the norm for only "young" people to be carded, not them. Sorry but a lot of people say this until they think the norms should be on their side. bugs me.

You know, for everything wrong with the Founding Fathers, at least (some of them) understood that government is inherently corrupt and you can't just rely on "good character" in leaders to protect you from tyranny

I think US (the greatest constitution ever!) is the only people that didn't see it though. It is well marketed. And that's a red flag.
