Can attest lol

Can’t wait til the next DOJ (1) freezes and seizes all his assets on day 1, and (2) prosecutes everyone involved for the obvious fraud all these settlements are.

The way to stop this behavior is to treat it like the crime that it is.

I dreamed a dream in times gone by, Fitz

It is, and it should not be

One down, the entire current DOJ leadership to go

Steve, this is a brilliant statement, thank you.

It’s straight-up murder, and I look forward to the prosecutions of everyone involved.

I know the point of this pic is “cute bunny!” but whoever designed this fretboard should be sent to their room

This is murder, plain and simple, and I look forward to the prosecution of everyone involved.

It’s insanely dumb to say “no one wants to live in a multicultural area” when the very multicultural New York City is (by far) the most populous city and metro area in America.

It’s Yogi Berra’s “nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded,” but with malevolent ignorance instead of a wry smile.

Wait til he hears about Leo’s policy on “forgiveness”

In that case Raffi I have some bad news about your current climate

Melania Trump will address immigration controversy, Donald Trump says | CNN Politics Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that his wife will hold a news conference “over the next couple of weeks” to address reports that she violated immigration laws when she first came to the U.S.

Hey remember back when we discovered Melania came here illegally and Trump said they’d address the issue in “two weeks” and then we never heard about it again?

Just thinking of that … and all the brown immigrants currently languishing in concentration camps.

@schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should lead the Dems back to Congress and just vote to end the Iran War.

Make the GOP come back to stop you. Make them affirmatively support this madness.

“Oh that’s not how it works, we’re the minority,” TRY IT AND SEE. Don’t be potted plants.

The other site has funny juxtapositions

"it came out that the National Reconnaissance Office had two Hubble Space Telescopes sitting in a closet" is a really cool and funny fact; thank you for sharing!

After hearing the oral argument, I stand by the below. Roberts writes the majority opinion. Alito/Thomas concur in judgment only, saying the EO extended past statute. Gorsuch concurs separately about Native Americans. The 3 liberals separately say originalism should be better cabined.

My prediction: 9-0 declaring the EO unconstitutional, with Alito and Thomas writing separately to say the majority doesn’t get the originalism right, and a separate concurrence by Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson saying (correctly) that this was a cynical, racist, and downright un-American attempt.

If you’re born in America, you’re American.

I worry that Alito and Thomas have never met a revanchist argument they didn’t like. I just hope that Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett show fidelity to the plain text, and, while unnecessary to address original intent, point out that it’s original public intent and meaning were also plain:

The 14th Amendment says what it says, and no amount of Trumpian attempts to ignore that plain language will work. Any Supreme Court since the 1860s would have knocked this one away easily.

It’s embarrassing for any contemporary “scholar” to invent arguments that are both shoddy, but also are trying to carry water for racists. Again, shame on them.

Yes, some people at the time thought the children of immigrants weren’t citizens. Also some people at the time (mostly the same people!) thought black people should be slaves. These people were horrific, and we should aggressively ignore their opinions about who “gets to be” an American.

The 14th Amendment - passed after the Civil War, and right after the 13th (which barred slavery), was promulgated specifically to *settle* these debates.

If “legislative intent” has been compared to “looking over a crowd and picking out your friends,” the revanchists’ method of “originalism” is looking at a much larger crowd, where half of the crowd was slaveowners and other incorrigible racists, and picking out the most racist quotes.
