There was a liberal court for a few years in the mid 20th century and the right wing response was to delegitimize for DECADES right up to the point they had a supermajority, at which point it became Wrong to do so. These people think you are stupid bsky.app/profile/chri...
NEW: Jan Crawford's attack on SCOTUS "corruption" narrative was its own substance-free narrative.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

For folks trying to figure out if they can get a Covid shot: I got mine yesterday with no hassles. I just walked into my regular pharmacy and asked for one. I didn't have a prescription; I didn't get any questions about special medical concerns. I just asked for one and got it as usual.
