Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Proud to dress Pat in a "cloth coat" and obstinate about keeping his children's pet dog, Nixon indicated that he knew what a soul was, even as he was always open to losing his, which he did. that other guy has never even had a clue.

there oughta be awards for this political murder, gilded and shaped like little sharpened bamboo spears. and they should be gifted ceremonial tattered schoolboy togs. winners should all be inducted in the Society of Lords of the Flies for their opinionated reportage.

I hate this court so much and even I am astonished by this case. It writes new provisions into Art 2 of the constitution that were unnecessary to decide the case at hand and that cannot be repealed by legislative action or even undone without a new case of presidential law breaking before the court

Not sure what to do? Here’s a rule of thumb that I have followed for 20 years: in any U.S. election, vote for the pro-choice candidate. If they’re equal on that, choose other issues. But being a single issue voter on abortion rights will never steer you wrong, and will help you save democracy too

Roberts, Alito and Thomas all cut their teeth in a Reagan administration eager to expand the outer limits of executive power. Kavanaugh did the same under George W. Bush who tried to make the unitary executive a reality.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

Instead of panicking or yet another postmortem (forgive me I've been Black this whole time so not much of this is breaking for me), link up with like minded folk for practical solidarity. Shield those more vulnerable than you and figure out how you can soften structural abandonment.

My fellow citizens: It is all the more critical that we unite behind Joe Biden and elect a Democratic Senate and House to, I hope, reform the Court but mostly to prevent an immune king--in Sotomayor's word--from gaining power. Quit the carping. Ignore The New York Times. Get to work.

mike johnson logic is that President Biden should be 25th amendmented because he doesn't have the mental facility to be a god-king with absolute immunity from the law. we are reaching the level of chaos that crashed the Weimar Republic We better fucking snap out of it as a citizenry or we are fucked

we are watching a surreal & slow-mo coup d'etat slowly unfold as the ultimate authority of law & order (ie, scotus) destroys the social contract one paragraph at a time, ushering in so many chaotic forces that the reign of a strongman, a tyrant, will be embraced by a confused and fearful citizenry.
