Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump. We’ve encouraged our enemies and we’ve made our allies not trust us.

Justice Alito is confusing a desire to reform the court with an effort to intimidate it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.

Less than 1% of major party nominees for Congress are working class. It is one of the most fundamental ways that Congress is not representative. And their views, e.g. on unregulated gambling websites, are apt to be different. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

That's one reason among many that we need term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices. Under the most popular proposal, justices would serve for 18 years before transitioning to senior status. Importantly, this means each president would get two -- and only two -- SCOTUS noms.
