Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the United States can’t use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

In 1930, 6 months after the Smoot-Hawley tariffs were enacted by President Hoover, world trade decreased by SIXTY PERCENT (60%). Because of policies like the Smoot-Hawley tariffs contributing to the Great Depression in the 1930's, Hoover is considered one of our WORST president's. Sound familiar?

I know nobody should be surprised but it's just stunning how unmoored the court is from any kind of legal analysis. Sotomayor's dissent is self-evident and indisputable. But it doesn't matter because these justices are not interpreting the law, they're advancing a reactionary agenda.
