If we had popular constitutionalism, there would be like 30 different capital punishment crimes and they wouldn’t be 8th Amendment violations.

Thought experiment: If you could change just ONE overarching political strategy by the Democratic Party over the past 20 years to see if it would change history, what would that one tweak be?

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

If we want a law against corruption to be enforced, even when Republicans are in charge, how do we have legitimacy making that argument if there are certain laws that we don’t want to enforce when we are in charge? Is that not hypocrisy?

People who refuse to be vaccinated carry the disease to people who have compromised immune systems. If we can’t protect the innocent then what is the point of any Law? Vaccination should be mandatory. We should not have dying children when it’s optional.

I do not think that getting rid of prison sexual abuse requires getting rid of prisons because that’s not how they did it in countries that got rid of it. We could have prisoners like they do in Norway. Instead of getting rid of prisons.

“In violation of international law” because we don’t desire to enforce the international laws and we abandon people while saying “this is illegal.” Seems legal if they are allowed to do it?

In terms of urgency for stopping deaths caused by the US government, we can start by the things that are killing millions and then work down from there. We could start upwards from the things that are killing fewer people, it would be slower. Some of them require a constitutional amendment.
