Could you show us the actual words in the Constitution that say the president is immune from criminal law?

Constitution: People involved in insurrections should not be President. Roberts court:...hmm, no, I don't see it. Constitution:.... Roberts court: but the president should have immunity for crimes

that's a deep pull. I remember marveling at a lot of it (including the poor planning of some of the hijackers). IIRC, there was a time when there was there was one hijacking a week

It's a bit problematic how Biden has (a) narrow, limited power to have his agency draw up a student loan forgiveness process consistent with the statutes passed by Congress; but (b) complete immunity to tell everyone at Dept of Edu, "mark those loans as $0 or I'll put you in a pine box."

I used to really care about the Supreme Court as an institution. Someone gave me SCOTUS water glasses as a wedding present. I'm that girl. I don't respect the court anymore. The conservatives are hacks. Roberts et al. deserve to be mocked, booed, & ostracized for the rest of their miserable lives.

When I was young, 'old' meant 50+ and implied feebleness and decline. For example, Bob Dylan was 47 when he joined the Traveling Wilburys (and was perceived to be a borderline novelty act...which was incorrect). Martin Short is 74. You can crush it at 70 (see, e.g., Mick, Neil Tennant, Scorsese)

there is some gold to be found in the commercials: '10'; a Fantasy Island with special guest Adrienne Barbeau; 'When She Was Bad', a TV movie with Cheryl Ladd and Robert Urich, which sounded saucy but wherein Cheryl Ladd maybe abuses her daughter, played by Nicole Eggert (later of Baywatch)

sorry, what is the nuance about protesting Israel by protesting in front of a random synagogue that makes it not antisemitic?

If there were one piece of advice which I would give to a young person that I think is applicable to every career (and other parts of life) it would be: You have to say what you want, out loud. No one can see inside your head. If you want to do a job or get into an area, you need to say so.

got it as a gift 15 years ago; started on Father's Day and I am loving it (no, I can't explain why it took that long) Thank you for this and for what you do, so well, in so many varied ways ps - never thought I'd get such a wave of nostalgia from the phrase 'boil in a bag'

i agree with that - i don't think there have been as many pro-one-particular-billionaire-against-other-billionaire factions (I like billionaire A while you like billionaire B; i bet my billionaire's space program will be better than your billionaire, etc.)
