Justice Alito is confusing court reform with attacking the court. Many of us simply want the Court to be better. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
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.

It would be more than a little ironic if Trump's CNN/MS NOW/Politico tantrum (and the resulting lack of coverage the entire WHCA is going to provide) is what finally educates the press about the extent to which Trump needs *them* even more than they need him.

What does a sniper position at Memorial Circle actually defend against? Not China. Not a submarine. Not a missile. It overlooks a bridge, a traffic circle, and the front door of the National Mall. Those are places where Americans march. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

It really is striking how many authoritarian states have ended up in this exact same place, where the leader seizes control of scientific inquiry. Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, Aryan Physics in the Third Reich, Great Leap Forward (also related to Lysenko) in China.

Trump & Vought are politicizing critical medical research and make no mistake: in the long run, this will cost lives. Their continued attacks will put future cures and treatments at risk in service of their own political agenda.   Shameful.
