I don't know how you lose running against a Court that wants to prosecute the pregnant and preemptively pardon that perpetrator.

The MAGA movement will not be shamed by pointing out the basic features of a liberal pluralist democracy. They don't believe in any of it. They see it as a weakness, something that merely holds them back or slows their efforts to reshape their world.

Tyranny of the Minority egged on by a Supreme Court willing to overthrow the Constitution and a political party operating as a neo fascist one to destroy the American Republic.

Historian here the Supreme Court of the United States just ruled that the President can do no wrong in his official capacity and is above the rule of law and the people. Seems like the founders were all wrong to reject monarchy say the “originalists” on the court.

CNN's new poll doesn't establish some failsafe alternative to Biden for Democrats. But it does run against the twin ideas that the debate itself doomed Biden and that Harris isn't a viable alternative. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

Welp.
I think we’ll hear about presidential immunity from SCOTUS today.
The fact that this is an open question is stunningly wrong-headed.
You certainly can’t claim the founders wanted it.
Or rather, you can.
But you’d be wrong.
Here’s a brief explaining why.

I am no political pundit but I think @POTUS should do a long form interview with a major channel on prime time to contain some of the fall out from the debate. Biden was good with that and the State of the Union a couple of months ago.

Before SCOTUS' ruling, here's our historian's brief which argues there is no basis in founding era history for the idea that presidents should enjoy immunity. In fact, the founders believed that presidents should be accountable under the rule of law. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

In a profoundly twisted move toward amoralism, SCOTUS originalism regards adherence to the letter of the Constitution (setting aside their misunderstanding of 18C words) as the sole standard of what is moral. Nothing else can count w/o violating originalism.

Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.
