"I'm sorry, sir, we were hoping to get an informed opinion. For that we will go to Congressman Raskin. . ."
Republicans use the "I'm not familiar with that" dodge several times a day now, and if a reporters or anchor isn't ready and willing to shut them down as soon as they try it, that means they're either incompetent at their job or a willing accomplice to the lies.
Either way, never trust them again.

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

The "Practical Men" are generally liars, it's never really about what they claim it is.
“The Daily Nebraskan found in the leaked spreadsheet that every program eliminated appeared to be profitable…every program that the chancellor proposed eliminating generated more money from tuition dollars than the department costs to run”

It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"

I mean, who says they’d stop at the reconstruction amendments. “Right to vote shall not be abridged based on sex” - if we’re just tossing the plain language of the constitution, why not women’s suffrage?

One senior ICC expert also ruled out that ICC judges would accept Israel’s challenge to ICC jurisdiction.
"Israel is more likely to uphold the ceasefire than the Appeals Chamber is to invalidate the arrest warrants," the expert said, sarcastically.

Transphobia is a luxury belief. Yes, ordinary people are often ambiently transphobic, but they have bigger things to worry about. The true believers are wealthy, powerful, influential, and face no real hardship that would force them to prioritize issues that affect them.
They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor

They would almost certainly prefer to do it a different way if that were an option. But it generally isn't. It is remarkably difficult to become an American citizen. So people take the paths available to them, and sometimes parents will try to open up paths for their kids.
