Jean Jaurès was a French socialist leader assassinated by a right winger on the eve of WWI because he opposed war. Only a broad anti-fascist coalition will defeat Trump and Trumpism. Leftist & St. Louis Cardinals fan. Was TomP at Daily Kos and Twitter.

Is it okay for Supreme Court Justices to get a bunch of expensive stuff from billionaires for free? Democrats say no. Republicans say yes. Let’s have the debate. Make it an issue in this election, various views weigh in, then the people decide.

The French are world leaders at "The govt sucks, I'm voting for my ideal, no way I'll compromise, you compromise" (round 1) followed by "The only way to stop the far right? Ugh, fine." (round 2). Often a responsibility placed more on the left, but this time the center too, perhaps more. Let's see...

Judge Luttig: It can never again be said that in America “no man is above the law.” The Supreme Court held today that the President of the United States — and the former president in particular — is above the law, and the only person in America who is above the law.

Most Americans opposed presidential immunity. But then most voters opposed the presidents who nominated several justices to the court and most Americans were represented by senators who opposed their confirmations. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

President Joe Biden on Monday ripped the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity, which ruled that presidents have an absolute immunity from prosecution for core official acts, and issued a stern warning over a possible second term for former President Donald Trump.

I hope not many. But all things considered, better to fuck up in front of a few thousand rather than 45 million.

Nobody is prepared for this jolt to the legal system. The Supreme Court has shifted an unfathomable amount of power from Congress and the executive brach toward unelected, unaccountable federal judges. This will fundamentally alter how government works. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Biden in NC today: "I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to ... [but] I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job ... I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up!"

Don’t worry. Chevron will operate by another name when there is a Republican administration. It was adopted to insulate people like Gorsuch’s mother from have their interpretations gutting regulations insulated from review and will again for gutting regulations. This is not law. It is raw power.

I hope you’re right. But I fear it reinforced the dottering old man meme and is far more than one bade debate. He is gambling many lives. I am shocked by what happened. People will die and suffer if Biden loses this gamble.

It’s an unfair world. I wish you were right, but fear you are not. Biden and his people need to do something fast. It may be too late. It’s fucking ridiculous that he went out there like that. They should have cancelled. It matters to all who will suffer and die under a Trump presidency.

I wish you were right but the excuses don’t cut it. He failed utterly. And we will suffer under fascism. For the good of all he ever fought for in his great career and life, he needs to let go and let Harris run. Or someone else. I have been a strong supporter but denial means disaster.
