They didn't fail. They delivered exactly what the Federalist Society and their bankrolling oligarchs put them there to do.

I just think we need to figure how far this would need to go. To stop an authoritarian movement -- essentially transforming the state into an oligarchy/kleptocracy -- are liberals prepared to do authoritarian acts? Should Biden not accept election results, transfer power, etc.

While I think that would certainly demonstrate the danger posed by a chief executive unbound by law, I think you could kiss any chance of Biden winning the election goodbye.

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

"Democrats need to treat it like the fundamental crisis it is, both on the campaign trail & in congressional committees.. The Court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be the most direct threat to American democracy... This is serious. Act like it."

Andy Harris and Matt Chrietzberg dive into the Braves minor leagues. Lots of players moved around the organization and we cover it all, including Hurston Waldrep‘s major league debut. Andy reports from steamy North Augusta, SC on what he saw with the Greenjackets.

In 1984, Gremlins, Ghostbusters and Top Secret! coming out on the same day didn’t become this big remarked upon deal because it was a given that people could afford to see multiple movies in a summer, spread across several weeks.

59 years ago today, Griswold v. Connecticut guaranteed the right to birth control. Justice Thomas says the Supreme Court should "reconsider" that ruling. And this week, 38 GOP senators voted against the Right to Contraception Act. Republicans are coming for birth control.

Matt and Andy have a freewheeling conversation taking stock of the Braves farm from the good (Schwellenbach! Waldrep! Murphy!) to the bad (triple-A starters) to the ugly (position player depth).

We're supposed to pretend this situation is complicated but it's really not. Both of these guys have inexcusably killed/hurt a bunch of civilians while their deputies repeatedly make public statements confirming the goal is to commit crimes against civilians. That should be prosecuted.

John Bolton's biggest disappointment with Trump likely isn't his handling of Ukraine, it's that Trump let the COVID epidemic interfere with making war with Iran.

Let's all be honest, "Aquire a loan you know you can't pay off, then use it to buy a company, spin off the assets to private concerns, saddle the company with the loan you can never pay off, and then declare bankruptcy" is financial fraud, and any sane polity would have implemented laws against it.

It is not lost on the voting bloc of African Americans, the swiftness with which all of the incremental progress that we have won *for all people* through blood, death, organization, protest, civil and uncivil unrest & of course voting, is dashed away in an instant at the whim of white establishment

So maybe next time you hear something slightly unflattering about protestors, you'll all reserve judgement until there's been enough time for the full story to come out, and independent (non-cop) verification of facts? ...right? ...right?
