23·7 months agoDamage already done, as always. They lie because it works. They retract because that doesn’t.
It appears to be a Sisyphean effort to prevent their comments from being scraped by AI.
Something I’m not sure is talked about enough that is a consequence of that decision is they also removed enforcement of the 14th from the judicial branch, for no reason. The question was narrow: “Can States do this?” The ruling was: “No, they can’t, only Congress.” A better ruling (barring, “yes they can”) would have been: “No, they can’t.” Which would leave room for a convicted insurrectionist to be barred by the courts by said conviction.
Based on the actual decision Trump could lose the insurrection trial in DC and still be President because the Supreme Court just removed their ability to say otherwise. For no reason other than to protect Trump as far as I can tell. They’re not so stupid they’d remove power on accident, not to mention the more liberal justices and Barrett point this problem out explicitly in their concurrence.
All of this is moot because none of these federal cases will be decided by the election. The SCOTUS taking up Trump’s obnoxious immunity argument instead of saying the appeals court got it right already guaranteed that.
Shocking no one. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if she’s literally in contact with Trump. Through an intermediary or directly.
Zero disagreement. I think you’re using “natural” where I would use “intended.” Cheers.
First, some of you seem to be missing the word “unfortunately” in my comments and in my defense I was young and raised that way. Second, social policy wise yes but am I/others not allowed to learn, grow, and change? It is not a natural progression just a likely one, again unfortunately. Third, sucking Russia’s dick and selling US intelligence? Fully bonkers. Opposite of natural in my personal opinion.
This stupid response is why I hate the quote from this article. It will be taken out of context (it already is in this post) so these people can make it sound personal and frame it as such. Just take the mugshot and when challenged say you’re treating him like everyone else, don’t crow about it beforehand.
Having said that I don’t think acting like an adult will have an impact on people like jcb2016 so maybe I’m wrong.
The guy hoarded nuclear secrets, attack plans, DEFENSE plans, ordered people to “find” votes. As an old guy who unfortunately was once a Reagan republican the GOP acting like this is mind blowing to me. The man is a traitor.
