Excellent! Did you catch Amanpour’s interview with #HeatherCoxRichardson? She starts by discussing the SCOTUS rulings, at about the 4:00 minute mark she talks about the debate, & at the 5:00 min mark she talks about what would happen if Biden were replaced as the candidate:

Sorry — it isn’t my post or photo I shared… I was just saying we must have summoned it to my timeline! We do have bats here — but I think the insects are responsible for bringing them. 😉

I know nothing about PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. I don't know the murderous aliens behind it, particularly Xarzon, who is a good friend. Anything they do, including raising the dead to destroy humanity, I wish them luck. But it has nothing to do with me. Hail Xarzon.

That’s how I felt when I learned the German word for bat, “fledermaus,” means “flutter mouse!”

(Fleder, from an old form of the modern German “flattern,” is in English, “flutter.”)

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

The Ford pardon of Nixon would have been totally unnecessary. A million other actions and arguments in American history assume presidents aren't immune. It's a totally new idea, nowhere in text or American tradition. Arguably the least originalist major SCOTUS decision in American history.

Lotta irony in British folks voting to kick out the Tories on the Fourth of July, three days after the Supreme Court made the US presidency a monarchy. That being said, kick out those Tories, friends.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

For all of Alito’s and Thomas’s bluster about “originalism,” where they ask WWJD (where “J” stands for “Jefferson”), the one thing we Americans—even little kids, ffs!—know for sure about the Founders is that they did NOT want another king.

Think about the baselines here. Taney inherited a vile political system and dedicated his career to perpetuating it. Roberts inherited a system that, although flawed on any number of dimensions, sought to uphold a modest version of democratic equality. He's dedicated his career to dismantling it.

Two things can be true: 1. The mental acuity of the person with the nuclear codes is a BIG deal. The media should report on it. Full stop. 2. The threat to democracy is also real and the overall balance of coverage must take that context into account.

It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.
