Forget that: Qualified immunity, baby "A member of the executive branch has a right to presume that the President's orders - given after the President has presumably gotten the benefit of able counsel - are lawful."

I think this gets its exactly right. Tesla's "big battery plus fast chargers on freeway" model bootstrapped EV demand, but the next wave of adoption requires both policy and sales narrative to emphasize home charging. This centers the EV's superpower (a full tank every morning), not its shortcomings

The only two permutations of this that work are: 1) Biden stays in 2) Biden steps aside for Harris but remains in office Everything other permutation of this idea is either a fantasy or propaganda whose discussion is designed to get the Dems to lose the election and usher Trump into power.

George Lucas REALLY wanted to impress Spielberg, Coppola, et al, but the first time he showed them Star Wars they laughed him out of their little boys’ club. He then gave it to his ex-wife to edit, and she is the only reason it became a hit. She did not work on the prequels. Take it as you will.

5 did not drop out in districts with an RN threat
—Macronists:
81 dropped out
16 didn't in "threat" districts
—Conservatives didn't care:
3 dropped out
12 didn't

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.

Watch for the American Right to begin to make claims that by overreacting to and mischaracterizing the Trump immunity decision, critics are causing “unrest”, and then watch for them to use that to justify the things Trump does.

Seems crazy! But just logical. If a President cannot commit a crime in the course of an official act, like giving an order to the military, how can you prosecute the person who follows the order? There’s a whole code of military conduct about “illegal orders.” All orders are legal now.

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.”

Right, this is where the action is. Some level of immunity around “core presidential powers” is inherent in the powers themselves (otherwise Congress could revoke or take over presidential powers by ordinary statute)—that’s not the radical part—but none of this other crap flows from that.
