Trump's efforts to slap his name on every building in America is the political equivalent of a dog peeing on a wall.

Sen Eric Schmitt insulted a distinguished officer of the court in a Judiciary Committee hearing. He did so on the basis of flawed information whilst making his entire party a laughing stock. He still does not have the basic decency to apologize. Honor left the GOP an age ago. It may never return.

The rise of the AfD in Germany is both disturbing & prescient. It's slogan is "Anything is Possible!" plus a promise to make Germans proud of their country again. Sound familiar ? AfD ascendancy is the product of a governance that fails to connect with the needs of the people.

Patrick Clancy's attorneys are contacting those who have accused him of murder, sending cease & desist letters & threatening a civil defamation suit. Since he is not a public figure, he is not required to prove malicious intent. This makes the suit easier to prove. Stay silent & hope folks.

I am not going to comment on the soundness of the outcome of the Clancy case. I would however advance the notion that decisions & commentary grounded in gender preference are inherently dangerous & may produce outcomes that disfavour women.

It is a terrifying thought that SCOTUS is just one vote away from the elimination of birthright citizenship. The text of the Constitution is clear and the conservative majority wish to ignore reality. Textualists when they want to be. Politicians when they need to be.

So Pam Bondi gets fired. All the craven sycophancy & where did it get her. The sad thing is it wasn't Bondi who failed Trump. It was the Constitution & the Courts that blocked him. Replace her & Trump still does not get what he wants. Good riddance Pam. Now pay the price. Fuck you.

Tomorrow begins the issue of birthright citizenship before SCOTUS. This has been litigated before & the ambit of the 14th Am upheld. It will be interesting to see how far the conservative justices are willing to corrupt established precedent & how they apply it to Trump's own family.

Trump has repeatedly shown his overwhelming inability to negotiate. Not for him the subtleties of a foreign policy chess games. Trump knows only bluster, threat & bullying. They are his only tools & he has no clue how to use them either. No wonder we face such an unholy mess.

Trump has designs on becoming the first American king and rule America by royal decree. I would be remiss in my responsibilities if I did not point out that the British executed 17 of their monarchs. When is the coronation again ?

The Supreme Court is failing and corrupt. There is an excessive use of the shadow docket, & rulings tend to favor Trump, granting him unconstitutional powers. When Democrats have the power to do so, they should add more justices to redress this egregious imbalance.

America was born out of a burning need to throw off the shackles of monarchical tyranny. 250 years later, America invests its future in its own, home bred tyranny. In so doing, it rejects the very principles upon which it was founded. And enough citizens cheered this.
