Well tbh, no other democracy has a high court with nearly this much power. We don't have to give the judiciary to power to immunize presidents if we don't want to. A proper court should have term limits and a focus on human rights IMO.

It's taboo here to talk about replacing The Constitution, but we should at least debate it. I don't think most Americans want another minority-elected (electoral college) rogue president & an authoritarian judiciary. This is ridiculous.

Right, individuals in the military might carry out illegal orders. And if some reject but others follow, that risks splitting the military, which would be its own nightmare. Insane to rely on every individual officer making the correct judgment call every time. Milley won't be there. Flynn will.

This is ridiculous. We need to seriously debate about having a constitutional convention. Another electoral college presidency and an authoritarian court aren't what Americans signed up for.

Reminder: Trump pardoned literal war criminals. One's actions were so bad that some of his fellow SEALs testified against him, which pretty much never happens. And Fox News then treated the pardoned criminals as heroes. Thinking this every time I see "but the military won't follow illegal orders."

I don't know. We need a constitutional convention, or at least a debate on one. Another rogue presidency and an authoritarian judiciary aren't what Americans signed up for.

Biden has to say he won't pardon his son because he knows the media would absolutely savage him if he tried. Yet the same media completely takes it for granted that Trump will pardon himself if he's re-elected, it's just baked into assumptions about his future cases and they don't even bother to ask

Wild. Hard to get your head in that pre-enlightenment mindset where people try to reconcile new discoveries with scripture. I guess the nearest modern equivalent is young earth creationists, but they're not usually ambitious explorers.

New article by me:
The rise in reported maternal mortality rates in the US is largely due to a change in measurement. ourworldindata.org/rise-us-mate...
The change was adopted by different states at different times, resulting in what appeared to be a gradual rise in maternal mortality.

The obsessively anti-woke are ideological tribalists—not "open-minded" or "free thinkers" or whatever label they give themselves—and readily toss aside the value of truth if facts don't fit their worldview, as @radleybalko.bsky.social shows in this charitable, evidence-filled, devastating critique.

New report of a 62-year-old man who got 217 (!) COVID vaccinations within 29 months.
The case report published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases concludes that hypervaccination "did not lead to adverse events".

New AI dynamically builds wiki pages.
The fact that it lists 4 biological causes for depression before listing the first psychosocial one is telling, and shows the impact biological psychiatry has had on our field and public perception / discourse.

Got invite for physical meeting of highly cited folks because, quote, "some consider that getting listed as Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers list is 2nd next to winning a Nobel medal". I can't imagine a worse academic place to be than with highly cited people who think this statement is true.

Tetanus is a bacterial disease that causes paralysis and can lead to death. Globally, it used to kill more than 250,000 annually in the early 1990s, mostly children. As DTP vaccination has risen, deaths have fallen massively.

Not saying disqualification is likely, but is the outcome really that certain? The originalist argument seems tight, and on balance it probably saves SCOTUS more trouble if they rule him ineligible. They've done shockingly unpopular, partisan things before and people accepted it.

That makes more sense. I'm reading parts like this, but I think they mean the studies didn't take measures during treatment: "All trials only assessed outcomes at the end of the treatment period, that is, from 4 to 12 weeks after randomisation."

I know, right? The last thing MAGAs will do before the election is renew an aid bill for Africa. The annual renewal proposal isn't a good faith demand at all. It's a poison pill. Best hope is an extension followed by a Democratic victory in November.

20 million people today depend on continued treatment from it, and its fate may be the most important issue facing global health this year.

At some point, can we say that Donald Trump and his anti-democracy movement are “tearing the country apart,” or is it always the fault of people who stand for the well-established laws and norms of US Constitutional democracy?

I wonder how judicial textualists will decide that the 14th Amendment shouldn’t be interpreted based on the words in the law, but on words that aren’t in the text, such as “only after a court conviction on related charges” or “only after a supermajority impeachment conviction in the Senate.”
