Here’s the post in which I do a close text study of the Southern Baptist Convention’s abortion resolutions, 1971-2009. You see not only the shift in what they preach, but how they preach it—and why. Once, SBC said abortion was a “purely private matter between a woman and her doctor.” Go figure.

There is no depth to which Jonathan Turley will not sink. He’ll say that Trump will never do the outrageous things Trump threatens to do, and that there are laws in place to prevent it, then when Trump does them he will say the laws don’t apply and that Trump was forced to do the things by woke.

Coming soon: "Judge Cannon, the only reason the defendant had access to these documents in the first place is that he was acting in his official capacity as President of the US, therefore he is immune from prosecution for anything arising from those actions after leaving office."

For some years, my former colleagues on the right tried to argue that I had brain worms if I would break a friendship or even a close relationship over Trumpism. I replaced "trump" with "david duke" and asked them to reconsider. That usually ended the discussions.

There is also every reason to think that this court will expand Trump v. U.S in his second term to extend immunity to those doing his bidding. I.e., “Our holding in Trump v. U.S. demands that government officials be able to enact the will of the executive without fear of criminal proceedings.”

idk it just seems to me that laws, like tech, should be created with the question "what would the worst person i know be able to do with this power" in mind and it's truly incredible how much this opinion fails at that basic task

I’d only add that: After decades of insistence that finality of state court judgments and no retroactivity are sacred, the Supreme Court can absolutely be expected to interfere with a final state-law judgment against Donald Trump, and to do so retroactively.

Right-wing legal talking heads are focusing on arguing that it is RIDICULOUS to say that a second-term Trump will be empowered by immunity to do horrific things, while carefully preparing to argue in seven months that it is RIGHT that Trump do horrific things which aren’t actually horrific anyway.

It's a bit problematic how Biden has (a) narrow, limited power to have his agency draw up a student loan forgiveness process consistent with the statutes passed by Congress; but (b) complete immunity to tell everyone at Dept of Edu, "mark those loans as $0 or I'll put you in a pine box."

I think it's hilarious that liberals mock direct action and say dumb shit like, "Why aren't you firebombing a Walmart?" when they would be the very first to decry that kind of activity if it happened and label it as "terrorism." They couldn't even tolerate peaceful campus protests against genocide.
