The British like to pretend they're still an important country, so everybody else's PMs are "PM Surname," while theirs is just "The Prime Minister."

a) I will never refer to him with reference to his knighthood. b) There's more than one Prime Minister in the world, and the British one is not nearly the most geopolitically important. He's "Prime Minister/PM Starmer" or just "Starmer" to Americans. Sorry not sorry.

@fivefourpod.bsky.social had a great comment on that in their episode about constitutional amendments that failed, where they pointed out that the amendment capping House district population would mean a couple thousand House Reps... which means none of us would ever need to know or care who MTG is.

People who say shit like this don't realize just how completely everyday people in Russia, Hungary, Turkiye, etc. AVOID talking about politics. Ever. It's not "interesting" or "exciting" it's a total taboo, the breaking of which can get you excised from your social circle out of fear of the gov't.

The fact that they couldn't find one (1) White House source to say, unequivocally, that Biden is cooked is extremely telling! Whether it's because nobody in the WH believes that, or because everybody in the WH hates Sulzberger too much to talk to the Times, it's telling of something!

At the time, the biggest issue before the Court was "how much power does the President have to detain, torture, assassinate, etc.?" and Bush wanted a guy whose answer to that was "unlimited." John Roberts was that guy. Ditto Alito, though when he was nominated, "social issues" were more salient.

An under-discussed aspect of Roberts' lawless, constitutionally illiterate ruling in Trump v. US is that it's perfectly in line with the reason Roberts was appointed by Bush in the first place: he's a true-believer in the Imperial Presidency, hand picked to rule for POTUS in the War on Terror cases.

People like Fallon start from the premise, "Can I imagine some explanation in which this thing, standing alone, can be fitted into a principled legal system?" I mean, yeah, sure, that can be done for anything. But doing so makes you a collaborator and a propagandist, not an honest & wise scholar.

Specifically, Tolkien was upset Lewis returned to the Anglican church of his youth instead of becoming a Catholic. Tolkien's mother had been badly mistreated by her Anglican family for marrying a Catholic, and JRR held a grudge against the Church of England his entire life.

They somehow delude themselves into thinking the pitch "I was part of a party that did everything wrong, but I was against it!" is gonna make people want to vote for them instead of their opponent, who was part of the (implicitly) "didn't do everything wrong" party.

I think it's less cognitive dissonance and more hedging bets. Joe's probably not dropping out, but if he does it's definitely gonna be Kamala. So why not gas up the VP just in case?

Decision on whether the charged conduct is "official acts" (and if so, whether they're immune) is the 6th. After that, the sentencing (if the conviction hasn't been overturned) is the 18th.

Yeah, the correct response to yesterday was "This was a lawless and constitutionally nonsensical decision. I don't believe that, as President, I'm allowed to just break any law I like. That's why we need to win in Nov, to take the strong steps the constitution actually allows to reform the court."

Alternatively, he could've done a quickie mass-commission of all the people at the pre-riot rally as 2nd Lieutenants in the Army, that way he could've told them outright to go kill Pelosi and Pence etc., and still would've been immune.

When I read the opinion, I thought of all the Law Prof pundits who argued that prosecuting Trump was a bad idea because it would mean every ex-President who was followed by a rival would be prosecuted, and I hope they're having a good day today.

Also, the Republican offices and "structure" continued to exist LONG into the Imperial period. You still had Quaestors and Consuls and Praetors etc. all while the entirety of actual governing authority was vested in the Emperor and his (thoroughly monarchical) court.

Even putting Presidential Immunity aside (which, geez), in the last four days they've invalidated a vast swath of Federal regulatory law and then announced that anyone can challenge those regulations, even if they've been in place for 100 years and everybody has acted in reliance on them.

So, if you have a client who's facing Federal charges of any kind and can afford a couple mil to bribe the President for a pardon, we can't officially recommend you do it. Just know that the bribe recipient in this case would be totally immune from prosecution. Academically.

Technically, he could order a member of the military to shoot Trump, and be totally immune. If he does it himself, it's unclear whether that would count as an "official act." But ordering a soldier? That's Commander in Chief stuff, baby, Article II Absolute Immunity shit.

That's my reading as well, that literally anything he orders any active-duty member of the military to do is conclusively and unrebuttably covered by immunity, no matter how obviously illegal.
