AEDPA has played a huge role in ensuring executions are carried out without further legal review and I am sorry to say that is a major part of the Democrats’ legacy in ways we pay for constantly.

And the video usually shows the opposite: that the agents rammed into the victim. But there are no consequences for the lies. So there’s no reason to stop telling them.

This is the linear progression from presenting trans women in sports, bathrooms, etc. as predator super soldiers, possessing some supercharged version of male strength and aggression. You can't say "but sports!" and pretend that it exists as an independent issue - it's all part of the same bigotry.

So, one of my best argument against the electoral college is that it actually provides perverse incentives to presidents to ignore states they’re not going to win. Of course, Trump takes “perverse” to unhinged extremes.

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.

The NYT story is a great example of NYT making informing readers subordinate to pushing their agenda. If you read it carefully, it's clear that Democrats have largely decided to counter attack by saying Rs are obsessed with trans issues and neglecting things that impact ordinary Americans.

Clarke on B.P.J.’s Deviation From Heightened Scrutiny
Jessica A. Clarke (University of Southern California Gould School of Law) has posted B.P.J.’s Deviation From Heightened Scrutiny (Yale Law Journal Forum, forthcoming) on SSRN. Here is the abstract: In West Virginia v. B.P.J., the Supreme Court upheld a state law barring transgender girls and women from girls’ and women’s sports. In doing so, it reasoned that the law met the heightened scrutiny standard that applies to sex-based classifications under the Equal Protection Clause.

There is a line between "pushing the law rightward" and "acting as an enemy to the U.S. Constitution", and I think Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have crossed the line quite a while ago (seeking to nullify Reconstruction-era birthright citizenship constitutional amendments is just one example)
