Looking forward to the day when the great-great-grandchild of John Roberts apologizes for all the terrible decisions of her forebear: Citizens United, Shelby, Dobbs, Presidential immunity, gerrymandering and so many other democracy-destroying opinions including the awful ones yet to come.
From a descendant of Roger Taney to a descendant of Dred Scott: I’m sorry
Families of the proslavery chief justice and the man whose freedom he denied join in an effort to present a more complete history at Maryland’s capitol.

What did the Nazis do with valuable items of Jewish people they deported or sent to concentration camps? They did the same thing that Nazi ICE rats are doing with the property of Hispanic people.

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.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

Here's a memorable illustration of the bind Trump lackeys find themselves in, trying to justify their legitimization of the Bozo Fascist's lawless regime. Sen. Tom Cotton has no answer for a straightforward question about the absence of Congressional authority for the lethal boat strikes.
