They didn't exist in 1776. Sorry. BUT, they are celebrated every day in American culture (see movies, TV, music) and we appreciate them immensely.

Happy Independence Day! When Americans celebrate East Coast Liberal Elites, who made things better for everyone by sloughing off a remote conservative government that no longer represented its values or addressed its interests.

Honestly, even if he were a corpse, I would still vote for Biden. And that's because he's a decent and capable guy who has surrounded himself with decent and capable people. There's a VP in place ready to start on Day One. The country would still be in good hands.

Reminder: everyone telling you to give up and don't vote and be hopeless is working for Russia, whether they know it or not. Don't listen to them. Your country needs your awareness and action now more than ever.

In US v Nixon, the Court acknowledged the principle of executive privilege, but expressly rejected Nixon's claim of an "absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances." I don't think this case undoes that.

Can one of my legal brethren or sistren eho are bigger Constitution nerds than I am explain to me why people are so upset about the SCOTUS opinion about privilege? It pretty much sounds like what we learned in Con Law II.

Complete bullshit. When the electorate is this polarized, a seven million vote margin is the modern equivalent of a landslide.

For them, it wasn't a mistake. The GOP says the Press is liberal so that liberals feel that they can trust them, not because they're actually liberal. And then they psy-ops this bullshit.

Democrats were more likely to hold this view with 84% support, but supermajorities of Republicans and independent voters said they also agreed with that statement.

Underestimating the intelligence of the average swing voter is as misguided as it is offensive. According to the PRRI study, 75% of Americans surveyed said they agree that the "future of American democracy is at risk in the 2024 presidential election."

Fuck the New York Times. The idea that they would say this about Biden before they would say it about a convicted felon who dreams of autocracy shocks the conscience of decent people.
