Mass suicides in Nazi Germany
Article

During the final weeks of Nazi Germany and World War I! in Europe, many civilians, government officials, and military personnel throughout Germany and German-occupied Europe committed suicide. In addition to Adolf Hitler and many high-ranking Nazi officials like Joseph Goebbels, Heinrich Himmler, and Philipp Bouhler, others chose suicide rather than accept the defeat of Germany.!"! Motivating or triggering factors included fears of execution for Nazi war
crimes or reprisals and atrocities by the Allies and the Soviets, Nazi propaganda glorifying suicide as preferable to defeat, and despondency after Hitler's suicide. For example, in May 1945, up to 1,000 people killed themselves in a mass suicide in the German town of Demmin, before and after

As I explained the last time this dumb argument made the rounds, if Congress was never allowed to change the Court’s size (something it’s done seven times), that would mean four of the *current* justices (all of whom are Republicans) hold unconstitutionally created seats: www.ms.now/opinion/repu...
ms.now
Republicans say court packing is 'unconstitutional.' They're wrong.
The argument that court expansion is unconstitutional is weak, transparently political — and most importantly, wrong.
